Not to derail this thread, and pre-empt a thread where this can be discussed in
its own context, but isn't that kind of the main problem? Tuning autovacuum is
really complicated and one of the parameters that I think universally seem to
make sense to users is just autovacuum_max_workers. I agree that it doesn't do
what most think it should, but a quick skim of the name and docs can probably
lead to a lot of folks trying to use it as hammer.
