+ PostgreSQL 13 and below used the term <quote>Default Roles</quote>. However, as these
+ roles are not able to actually be changed and are installed as part of the
+ system at initialization time, the more appropriate term to use is <quote>Predefined Roles</quote>.
+ See <xref linkend="predefined-roles"/> for current documentation regarding
+ Predefined Roles, and <link linkend="release-prior">the release notes for
+ PostgreSQL 14</link> for details on this change.
