Is "stable storage" the same as "durable storage"? Should we rename
"stable storage" mentions to "durable storage"?

I have developed the attached doc patch to change "stable storage" to "durable storage". -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> https://momjian.us EnterpriseDB https://enterprisedb.com The usefulness of a cup is in its emptiness, Bruce Lee

(The word "stable" might be more recognizable, but that in itself doesn't make the text any clearer.) -- Peter Geoghegan
