Chong Peng, whom I added to CC, reported this release note issue to me, so I’m just forwarding the message:

```
<listitem>
<para>
Add slot synchronization skip information to pg_stat_replication_slots (Shlok Kyal)
<ulink url="&commit_baseurl;76b78721c">&sect;</ulink>
<ulink url="&commit_baseurl;e68b6adad">&sect;</ulink>
<ulink url="&commit_baseurl;5db6a344a">&sect;</ulink>
</para>

<para>
The new columns are slotsync_skip_count, slotsync_last_skip, and slotsync_skip_reason.
</para>
</listitem>
```

The feature description is inaccurate: slotsync_skip_count and slotsync_last_skip belong to pg_stat_replication_slots, while slotsync_skip_reason belongs to pg_replication_slots. Maybe it could be reworded as:
```
Add slot synchronization skip information to pg_stat_replication_slots and pg_replication_slots (Shlok Kyal)
```
