WFM.  I also wonder if in

+   <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> can be expected to work on current
+   versions of these operating systems: Linux (all recent distributions), Windows,
+   FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFlyBSD, macOS, AIX, Solaris, and illumos.

we could drop "(all recent distributions)", figuring that "current
versions" covers that already.  Other than that niggle, this
looks good to me.
