I mean unqualified /bin/kill which is kill -TERM (-15 in linux).
I gather (pun acknowledged but not intended) you mean "one problem with PG v11"
and not "one problem with kill -11" (which is what I first thought, although I
was somehow confusing kill -9, and since I don't know why anyone would ever
want to manually send SIGSEGV).
I think you're suggesting that's a known issue with v11, so nothing to do.
