Major enhancement list:
Per discussion on the -advocacy list, the features we've picked out as
"major enhancements" for advocacy reasons this round are:
* Materialized Views (because with refresh concurrently, MatViews are
now useful, which they weren't, very, in 9.3)
* Logical Decoding/Changeset Extraction which we're calling "Data Change
Streaming API" in the advocacy stuff. Not sure if you want to use that
name in the technical realease notes.
* Dynamic Background Workers (this one is a major feature, but won't be
front-listed in advocacy doc because it's hard to explain and nobody's
built anything cool with it yet. But it should go under major
enhancements in the release notes)
* JSONB and related features (such as indexing)
* ALTER SYSTEM SET
Lemme know if you need description text for any of the above.
