I'd be inclined to document both of those.  We mentioned outer join
removal when it was first added, in 9.0, so making a significant
improvement in it seems worthy of mention also.  Both of these things
are "user visible" to the extent that they affect EXPLAIN output.

I'm not sure whether we need to document the semantic hazard that the
second commit message worries about.
