The doc files:
are no longer up to date due to finish of the abstract schema work from T191231: RFC: Abstract schemas and schema changes and should be revisisted.
For example the sentence about sequences is no longer true and bytea is not so easy to support now (Some context under T257755#6863029)
Also foreign keys are no longer in use, CIDR is also removed

I think in our systems we have over-documentation issues sometimes and this is one of those. We are repeating same thing over and they are getting out of sync. My suggestion, remove most of them and point to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Schema_changes
Most of these notes are codified into our abstract schema system so there is no need to document it again.
