Having the tables is IMO still useful as a quick reference for users
that don't have immediately psql at hand when working on an
application, for example imagine somebody using pgAdmin. And I would
imagine that such people are not few. Another risk here is somebody
using psql with a server that has a major version different than the
one they are working on, leading to false assumptions? Having at
least a mention to those psql shortcuts in the docs is still a good
idea IMO, as said upthread:
