Well, if they use https://why-upgrade.depesz.com they won't.  For
instance,
https://why-upgrade.depesz.com/show?from=16.14&to=18.6&keywords=
this will show going from 16.4 to 17, then to 17.1, 17.2 [etc] until
17.6, and then it says to jump to 18.  So the release notes from 17.7
and up are not included, presumably because Depesz knows that these are
duplicates.

I don't think we _have_ to change the way our release notes are
structured in order to cope with this.  It may be nice to have a
way to present them that matches what Depesz's page does, though.
Or at least an explanation about how it would go.
