Hi,

When v15 docs have:

"27.2.7. Cascading Replication
The cascading replication feature allows a standby server to accept 
replication connections and stream WAL records to other standbys, acting 
as a relay. This can be used to reduce the number of direct connections 
to the primary and also to minimize inter-site bandwidth overheads."

why then, in the release draft, is that capability mentioned as 
something that is new for v16?
"
In PostgreSQL 16, users can perform logical decoding from a standby
instance, meaning a standby can publish logical changes to other servers.
"

Is there a difference between the two?

Thanks,

Erik
