I think there are two subtly different things here: the sequence counters
will continue to be attached to the identity columns, and the counters
will continue in sequence (ie, no implied ALTER SEQUENCE RESTART).
The existing text seems to mean the latter but Julien's change makes it
about the former.

It could use rewording for clarity, just not this rewording.
