Thank you.  I found a typo in it.

Hi,

Thanks for drafting those up.

For:

* Several fixes for GENERATED columns, including an issue where it was possible
to crash or corrupt data in a table when the output of the generated column was
the exact copy of a physical column on the table.

I think it's important to include the "or if the expression called a
function which could, in certain cases, return its own input".

The reason I think that's important is because there's likely no
legitimate case for having the expression an exact copy of the column.

I would have said: "fix for issue which prevented/precluded detaching
partitions which have inherited ROW triggers"

".. in particular relating to an issue ..."

I feel like this is phrased backwards.  The goal is to avoid (attempting to)
fetch nonextant WALs, and the mechanism is by skipping timelines.  Maybe:

 * Avoid attempting to fetch nonexistent WAL files from archive storage during
 * recovery by skipping irrelevant timelines.

Thank you for the feedback. As per usual, I applied some combination of
{all, some, none}.

Please see v2.

Thanks again for the review!
