A lot of work has already gone into this release to clarify what
things are PostgreSQL internals and which ones are not.  This will
help.

Yes, monitoring tools will need to take this into account.  The people
this will help will be the majority of our users, namely people who
have yet to adopt PostgreSQL[1].

Best,
David.

[1]  The project could fail completely next week, making our past and
current users could be the majority, but that would be very sad.
