Hi,

A documentation gap was identified [1] regarding the new publication
FOR ALL TABLES EXCEPT behaviour. e.g. what happens if an excluded
table is renamed or moved?

This patch addresses that gap.

Note that the patch uses different text from what was previously
suggested because, when I checked with AI, it proposed this much
simpler wording.
