I'm a bit dubious about this: it may make things look nicer with the new
docs toolchain, but did anyone check what it looks like with the old one?
Also, now that you mention it, the ability to copy relnote files into
older branches verbatim was already broken by commit 85c11324c. I got
burnt by this while making the release notes last weekend, and was quite
annoyed but there was no time to do anything about it then. Is there
a way to fix that, perhaps by providing some kind of alias for the
relevant section IDs?
Hm, actually, renaming those section IDs broke more than ease of
maintenance of the relnotes: the website no longer realizes that
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/pgwaldump.html
has any connection to
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/pgxlogdump.html
although ideally the former would be seen as the latest version
of the latter. So that might provide more motivation to think
of a smarter answer here.
