The problem is that it may impact existing tools that do explain output deparsing. One of them is https://explain.depesz.com/ that Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski has implemented, and it would be sad to break anything related to it. I am adding Hubert in CC for comments about changing this "shared/local" to "shared" on a released branch. Knowing that "shared" and "local" will need to be handled as separate terms in 17~ anyway, perhaps that's not a big deal, but let's be sure. -- Michael
