Well, let's start with a new section for PG 17 that lists these. Is it 20 items, 50, or 150? I have no idea, but without the user-visible filter, I am unable to determine what not-included performance features are worthy of the release notes. Can someone do that? There is no reason other committers can't change the release notes. Yes, I realize we are looking for a consistent voice, but the new section can probably have its own style, and I can make adjustments if desired. Also, I think this has gone unaddressed so long because if we skip a user-visible change, users complain, but I don't remember anyone complaining about skipped performance changes. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> https://momjian.us EDB https://enterprisedb.com Only you can decide what is important to you.
