Yes.  The release notes are in *technical* English, which may be
perfectly clear to you, but it's not to 99% of the world.  Actually, I'd
say that our release notes are only really comprehensible to people who
are already familiar with the PostgreSQL code.  Which is fine; they are
release notes.

However, we need a document which is understandible to non-programmers
who have never used PostgreSQL before.
