Hello,

Thanks Bruce to start this thread.

I still think it is useful to mention changes in the optimizer for
several reasons:

- help to understand why a plan can change between different majors
versions. I don't have any example but an improvement for some users
could be a regression for others.
- knowing optimizer improvements can motivate users to upgrade to newer
versions
- help to find bug between majors versions
