Re: First draft of PG 17 release notes

[Laurenz Albe]

I think that the removal of the "adminpack" extension should
be listed in the section "migration to v17" as an incompatibility.

I have seen one complaint that pg_upgrade fails if the extension
is installed, but a dump/restore would also throw an error.

Yours,
Laurenz Albe

You have to drop the extension before you can upgrade.
