This was removed in
https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=pgweb.git;a=commitdiff;h=66760d73bca6

Making the /about/ page leaner is a good objective IMO, considering the
target audience of that page (not us), but I wonder if the content
should have been moved elsewhere.  It's still in the wiki:
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/FAQ#What_is_the_maximum_size_for_a_row.2C_a_table.2C_and_a_database.3F
but that doesn't seem great either.
