I made a buzzword-prose generator a few years ago in which we tried to create readable sentences (readable being a relative term of course). For example we had [verb], [noun], [adjective] placeholders and tried to conjugate the verbs correctly.

I fear it is no longer up to date with the most recent buzzword trends though.

My Cloud SQL instance is currently on 9.6.6, I just got an email from GCP saying they are upgrading to 9.6.11 next week. There is a data corruption bug mentioned in the 9.6.7 release notes, not sure if it's the one the author is referring to.

"Fix vacuuming of tuples that were updated while key-share locked (Andres Freund, Álvaro Herrera)
