That said, I'd like to suggest a few listing/wording/ordering tweaks, primarily to tighten up a few of the explanations and align with the style from previous release notes.I don't know how the ordering was arrived at. I think we should lead with blockbuster items. Everyone will have their own opinion, but in my mind the blockbuster items are REPACK and pg_plan_advice.
"Blockbuster" means different things to different people - when I propose ordering, I'm typically looking for an optimization around how many users does the change impact and how resounding that impact is.
That said, in the proposed patch I did shuffle the order around that algorithm - if needed I'm happy to detail the thinking more, but I like to be careful around this given people have put a lot of work and effort into all the patches and did work specifically because they want to make things better/easier for users.
There wasn't a whole lot of science around the ordering. We did intentionally put the catch-all performance item at the end, but that was about the extent of conscious thought about it. Jonathan's proposed changes seem fine to me at a glance. I'll let that marinate on the lists a bit more before applying.
Thanks; happy to make additional tweaks if need be. Thanks, Jonathan
