I  wouldn't have asked London PM this question, mainly because it just
wouldn't have occurred to me to do so*. Luckily you got the answer you
wanted fairly quickly, despite the noise.

London PM, still providing value after 16 years. :-)


*My way of answering that question would  have wasted a massive amount of
time, because although web searches would have told me the answer, I
wouldn't stop there. No, I would have thoroughly shaved this yak by
installing one (or more) BSDs in VMs, installing PG, then testing the
proposed changes in them.  If my attention span had held out long enough.
