I agree that your suggestion is clearer.
If we make that change, then should the "Publications:" footer also be
modified similarly (to "Included in publications:") so they match?
e.g.
CURRENTLY
test_pub=# \d t1
Table "public.t1"
Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default
--------+---------+-----------+----------+---------
a | integer | | |
Publications:
"pub1"
"pub2"
Except publications:
"pub3"
~~~
SUGGESTION
test_pub=# \d t1
Table "public.t1"
Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default
--------+---------+-----------+----------+---------
a | integer | | |
Included in publications:
"pub1"
"pub2"
Excluded from publications:
"pub3"
~~~
I will wait for more opinions/consensus before providing a patch.
