Yeah, I don't see that "cluster" adds anything.  It's sometimes worth
saying "database superuser" to ensure that you don't confuse people
who might think of some external-to-Postgres meaning of "superuser",
but otherwise plain "superuser" is fine.  And we've settled on
"bootstrap superuser" as the best term for the role with OID 10.
So the present set of glossary entries looks fine to me.
