[DOCS] Inheritance mention

2009-04-12 Thread Bruce Momjian
Do people feel we should continue documenting that Postgres pre-7.1
didn't reference child tables by default?

(In releases before 7.1, ONLY was the default
behavior.)  The default behavior can be modified by changing
the  configuration option.

I see this mentioned four places in the documentation.

No. IMHO we should remove references to unsupported releases from documentation.

"Unsupported releases" is far too strict a criterion for this.  For
example, there are demonstrably still people using 7.2 (we had a
question about it just last week).  They will still appreciate these
notes when they get around to updating.

Pre-7.1 might indeed be old enough to cut, but how much are we really
saving?  Four sentences out of our current docs doesn't excite me ...
