I checked and found that there are two commits (7c75ef5715 and
22c5e73562) in the hash index code in PG-11 which might have impacted
what we write in the documentation. However, AFAICS, nothing proposed
in the patch would change due to those commits. Even, if we don't want
to back patch, is there any harm in committing this to PG-14?
