This sounds very reasonable to me. I would add that while I am by no means
an expert in Postgres, although I do know a few things, I will state that
it is my professional opinion as a Web person that pages should not simply
disappear from formal documentation without some sort of indication of what
happened. There are lots of ways to accomplish an indication but for
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/recovery-config.html or other pages
to just disappear is definitely wrong.
