+
+     <para>
+      Previously, restarting logical replication could sometimes cause the
+      slot's restart point to be recomputed as an older value than had
+      previously been advertised
+      in <structname>pg_replication_slots</structname>.  This is bad,
+      since for example WAL files might have been removed on the basis of
+      the later <structfield>restart_lsn</structfield> value, in which
+      case replication would fail to restart.

+
+     <para>
+      Previously, in unlucky cases, it was possible
+      for <application>pg_rewind</application> to remove important WAL
+      files from the rewound demoted primary.  In particular this happens
+      if those files have been marked for archival (i.e.,
+      their <filename>.ready</filename> files were created) but not yet
+      archived.  Then the newly promoted node no longer has such files
+      because of them having been recycled, but likely they are needed
+      for recovery in the demoted node.
+      If <application>pg_rewind</application> removes them, recovery is
+      not possible anymore.
