From 417d66c8b445f92d1fdb2dbbd59013fa6ec4b3bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Sun, 9 Feb 2020 14:20:56 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "docs: change "default role" wording to "predefined role"" This reverts commit 749f702d13de750b0adaf0aedbcc3c01f078c0c2. Per discussion, we can't change the section title without some web-site work, so revert this change temporarily.
