IMHO, your "rephrasing" has made this much worse.  You changed the
description of multiple synchronous standbys so that it now mentions
only multiple synchronous standbys and omits all mention of
synchronous_commit=remote_apply; JD's last version mentioned both.
You changed the description of pushdown for FDW so that it no longer
talks about direct updates, just sort and join pushdown.  And you
changed the description of the freeze map changes so that it's wildly
inaccurate.  I think the last version JD posted was much better.
