Possibly. The trick is always to find a good place to put things like
this -- they need to not consume a disproportionate amount of space
relative to the importance of an issue, and they need to be inserted
into a place in the documentation where they make logical sense and
are likely to be seen by users. If you have a good idea, feel free to
submit a patch, perhaps on pgsql-docs.
