Hm - not sure I see how a6417078c supersedes 09568ec3d, on the rationale
that we'd discussed in the thread, which the commit message sums up as:

    Add a note suggesting that oids in forks should be assigned in the
    9000-9999 range.

As forks != extensions, the release note entry seems misleading, and
a6417078c doesn't seem relevant?

Greetings,
