Hmm, but the commits about not-null constraints for domains were not
reverted, only the ones for constraints on relations. I think the
release notes don't properly address the ones on domains. I think it's
at least these two commits:

It may still be a good idea to make a note about those, at least to
point out that information_schema now lists them. For example, pg11
release notes had this item

<!--

<para>
Add <literal>information_schema</literal> columns related to table
constraints and triggers (Peter Eisentraut)
</para>

<para>
Specifically,
<structname>triggers</structname>.<structfield>action_order</structfield>,
<structname>triggers</structname>.<structfield>action_reference_old_table</structfield>,
and
<structname>triggers</structname>.<structfield>action_reference_new_table</structfield>
are now populated, where before they were always null. Also,
<structname>table_constraints</structname>.<structfield>enforced</structfield>
now exists but is not yet usefully populated.
</para>
