Works for me, though I suppose we could explain what the exceptions are
like in general terms. Perhaps something like
'Most system catalogs are copied from the template database during
database creation, and are thereafter database-specific. A few
catalogs are physically shared across all databases in an installation;
these are marked in the descriptions of the individual catalogs.'
