It might make sense to add a small sentence like "this release
introduces version 3.2 of the wire protocol, but libpq still uses 3.0
by default. This is the first new protocol version since Postgres
7.4". I think for users it's probably not super interesting
information, but we really want client/pooler/proxy authors to start
supporting the protocol negotiation. That will make it possible to at
some point start using a newer protocol version by default.
