I think this change is sensible. But to what extent do we want to edit
around in old release notes? Should we just keep it for PG13?
I think we should also extend the blurb in the release notes to mention
the option of using logical replication to upgrade. Otherwise, if you
follow the link you propose, then one might think that logical
replication upgrading is not applicable since only pg_dump and
pg_upgrade were mentioned in the place the link came from.
