Ah, yep. I added a clause to the end of the sentence to clarify why we're
using max_replication_slots here:

- The subscriber also requires the max_replication_slots to be set.

+ The subscriber also requires that max_replication_slots be set to
+ configure how many replication origins can be tracked.

Great. I'll wait to update the GUC patch until your patch and/or my
doc-only patch get merged. Should I add it to the March CF?

Separate question: are documentation updates like these ever backported
to older versions that are still supported? And if so, would the changes
be reflected immediately, or would they require a minor point release?
When I was on an older release I found that I'd jump back and forth
between the version I was using and the latest version to see if
anything had changed.
