Ok.

You might remove the "DOCUMENT THE DEFAULT…" in the release note.

I'm wondering about the commit comment: "Reported-by: Fabien COELHO", 
actually you reported it, not me!

After looking again at the release notes, I do really think that 
significant documentation changes do not belong to the "Source code" 
section but should be in separate "Documentation" section, and that more 
items should be listed there, because they represent a lot of not-so-fun 
work, especially Tom's restructuration of tables, and possibly others.

About pgbench, ISTM that d37ddb745be07502814635585cbf935363c8a33d is worth 
mentionning because it is a user-visible change.
