Many people have commented on the "RETURN WHERE" text.  The item in
question is this:Have CREATE TABLE AS and REFRESH return an OID

This code was later changed to return ObjectAddress rather than OID;
this is used to feed event triggers.  To answer the "where" question:
the OID is returned to ProcessUtilitySlow, where it can be used by the
DDL-command-collection infrastructure.

I don't think this particular change needs a mention in the release
notes, since the ddl command collection is mentioned separately.  I
would just remove it.


In the pg_upgrade section, I think this is a bit strangely worded:Remove pg_upgrade support for 8.3 old clusters (Bruce
Momjian)
How about this?Remove support for upgrading from 8.3 clusters (Bruce Momjian)

Why do we need a separate mention that pg_upgrade_support was moved to
backend in the "Additional Modules" section?  Seems to me that having
it mentioned in the pg_upgrade section would be better.


This entry is missing a word at the end:Allow CURRENT/SESSION_USER to specify the current user incertain
