Here are the 7.4.2 release notes I made.  I have a few question:

What detail do we need on the pg_statistics alignment fix?  Do we need
to show an UPDATE query to fix database?  What are the ramifications of
leaving it alone?

A few categories list "various fixes" for rare fixes we made in a few
areas.  We would not normally spell those out in detail in a major
release, and I assume we wouldn't do that in a minor release either.

I will add comments to a few of them later.
