Thanks for the explanation. I will look into patch 0001 to 0005 so
that they could get into 9.6.

In the mean time after applying patch 0001 to 0005 of v16, I get this
while compiling SGML docs.

openjade:ref/create_statistics.sgml:281:26:X: reference to non-existent ID "SQL-ALTERSTATISTICS"
openjade:ref/drop_statistics.sgml:86:26:X: reference to non-existent ID "SQL-ALTERSTATISTICS"
