Gah, I'd skipped this thread, because I was OK, if not happy, about the original modest proposal (trimming to supported versions). My fault. For the record: I think this is a terrible idea. Makes it much harder to figure out what changed when, and requires per-branch incantations to grep through the log. That's not to speak of the fact that now it's just about impossible to reference all releasenotes on the website in a useful manner now. For crying out loud, super prominent and often referenced URLs like https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/release-10.html are now broken, and soon URLs like https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/release-10.html will be too. I don't understand how this can be considered a good idea. Greetings, Andres Freund
