commit    40c959271279abf362b57ffe613c7db80e11fc23
Author:   Fujii Masao <fujii@postgresql.org>

    doc: Remove incorrect description about dropping replication slots.
    
    pg_drop_replication_slot() can drop replication slots created on
    a different database than the one where it is executed. This behavior
    has been in place since PostgreSQL 9.4, when pg_drop_replication_slot()
    was introduced.
    
    However, commit ff539d mistakenly added the following incorrect
    description in the documentation:
    
         For logical slots, this must be called when connected to
         the same database the slot was created on.
    
    This commit removes that incorrect statement. A similar mistake was
    also present in the documentation for the DROP_REPLICATION_SLOT
    command, which has now been corrected as well.
    
    Back-patch to all supported versions.
