@ioanatia I'd suggest changing this note to an applies-switch which is basically versioned tabs (in this case one tab for 9.1-9.3 and another for 9.4+/serverless)

Then we can keep the old information in the 9.1-9.3 tab and the new info in the 9.4+ tab.

example:

::::{applies-switch}

:::{applies-item} { serverless: , stack: ga 9.4+ }
<New content>
:::

:::{applies-item} stack: preview 9.1-9.3
<Old content>

`FORK` branches default to `LIMIT 1000` if no `LIMIT` is provided.

In a future release, no implicit `LIMIT` will be added to `FORK` branches.
To maintain the current behavior of the queries using `FORK`, it is recommended
to include a `LIMIT` in each `FORK` branch.
