Please check for accuracy, glaring omissions, confusing phrases, and typos.One of the bigger-ticket bugs is: * Fix a self-deadlock that could occur while replaying WAL generated by an older minor version. This regression, introduced in the previous set of minor releases, could cause a standby server following a primary running an older minor version to become stuck. Contrary to what you say at the top of the list, this doesn't affect v18, only v14-v16. I think this one is definitely important enough to mention, but maybe put it separately from the main list?
Agree it deserves a special callout (I also remember this issue when it was reported) - but do you want to remove it also from the 18.5 release notes? (I checked release-18.sgml and couldn't find it).
