That's fine and reasonable.

The title and first paragraph are fine.

I'd still say that the second paragraph, about limitations is too pgpool
specific. How's that for sequoia?

And I'm unsure what you mean by mentioning 2PC there. Do you have to
'make sure every transaction commits or aborts' yourself with pgpool? Or
did you just want to mention that pgpool does (and has to do) that for you?
