This time I started reading from the end. I think I've fixed most of the
questionable things (i.e. ? or FIXMEs) left.
I am not really sure how to rewrite the notes for the logical decoding
stuff into a more appropriate format for the release notes. Currently it
seems to describe too many details and not enough overview. It's also
probably too long.
How about letting it keep it's <sect4> but remove the <itemizedlist> and
put a short explanation about the individual parts into a following
<para> or two? That'd require a name after a <sect4> which normally
isn't done...
Greetings,
Andres Freund
