+      As of version 18, <literal>NOT NULL</literal> constraints have
+      full-fledged <structname>pg_constraint</structname> entries, and
+      therefore require names.  The logic for choosing a name for an
+      unnamed <literal>NOT NULL</literal> constraint failed to avoid
+      conflicts with user-written constraints elsewhere in the
+      same <command>CREATE TABLE</command> statement.
