It's a really good read, +1 for referencing it in history.sgml. I would
probably have placed it at the tail end of 2.1 to wrap up that section or at
the very end.
Unrelated to that, but reading history.sgml I found this sentend at the end of
the page to be sort of misleading:
"Details about what has happened in PostgreSQL since then can be found
in Appendix E."
While technically true, it seems a bit overpromising in a history section to
refer to the release notes which are written in a very different way from the
prose here (and the release notes are not even in Appendix E anymore).
