Ответы Re: Removal of backward-compatibility docs mentions  (Neil Conway <neilc@samurai.com>)
Список pgsql-patches
The attached patch removes or minimizes some documentation mentions of
backward compatibility for release 7.2 and earlier.  I have not altered
any mentions of release 7.3 or later.  The release notes were not
modified, so the changes are still documented, just not in the main
docs.

!     <productname>POSTGRES 4.2</productname>, the indirect predecessor
!     of <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>, supported three standard
!     implementations of large objects: as files external to the
!     <productname>POSTGRES</productname> server, as external files
!     managed by the <productname>POSTGRES</productname> server, and as
!     data stored within the <productname>POSTGRES</productname>
!     database. This caused considerable confusion among users. As a
!     result, only support for large objects as data stored within the
!     database is retained in <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>.
!     Even though this is slower to access, it provides stricter data
!     integrity.  For historical reasons, this storage scheme is
!     referred to as <firstterm>Inversion large
!     objects</firstterm>. (You will see the term Inversion used
!     occasionally to mean the same thing as large object.)  Since

!     Prior to <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> 7.2, the only defense
!     against XID wraparound was to re-<command>initdb</> at least every 4

      transactions that were in the past appear to be in the future — which
      means their outputs become invisible.  In short, catastrophic data loss.

  Since <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> uses a fixed page size (commonly
