Yes. Actually Hoshiai-san have already committed this imporvement in Master branch.
https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=pgpool2.git;a=commitdiff;h=b69e94e97ed4226e335e85f01bfc373c8e11db8f

As you said, I think we should also add this description to other stable branch.

Yes. I think you are correct.

Hoshiai-san,

Could you confirm and add these improvements below, if you have time?
