Or users may not care about getting information they don't care
about. When running a database-wide VACUUM or ANALYZE you don't know
what is exactly the list of relations this is working on. Getting
information about things you don't know beforehand can be considered as
misinformation.

Perhaps others have different opinions. Sawada-san?
