I'm not totally sure that we're in a worse place after these changes
than we were before them, but I strongly agree that committing a
change with no previous public discussion is a thing that generally
should not happen.
I mean, if the buildfarm is broken, pushing a fix quickly is
absolutely the right thing to do, but if you think the documentation
needs improving, there's no reason not to discuss that on
pgsql-hackers before pushing.
