That's really the gist of the concern from a team member of mine. Not that the 4TB number is wrong but that it could be misleading to assume that 4TB is some sort of upper bound.
That's how this concern was relayed to me and I am just following up.

The part you highlighted was: "There are active PostgreSQL systems in production environments that manage in excess of 4 terabytes of data." Which is pretty accurate, I know of some myself that are larger than 4TB. That 4TB number isn't a limit of any kind and the sentence says "in excess of" meaning that there are databases larger than that. There's actually some which are quite a bit larger than that, in fact. We could bump the number up there or remove the sentence, but I don't think there's anything inaccurate about the statement.
