Re: PostgreSQL 13 Beta 1 Release Announcement Draft

Congrats to all for the release of a new major version!

Two questions:
- Why is VACUUM together with FETCH FIRST WITH TIES, CREATE TABLE LIKE,
ALTER VIEW, ALTER TABLE, etc in Utility Commands section?
Shouldn't there be a separate section for SQL changes? (or keep one
section but rename the Utility to include all?)

- The "WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?" should be removed, in my opinion.

Again, congrats for another release of the best database in the world.
