I've never been able to make sense of that comment. I tried to dig a
bit yesterday and still couldn't make sense of it in the context of
the commit when it was added. I assume it's talking about
pg_stat_all_tables.autovacuum_count, but I can't think why that
matters as I didn't find any code that took that into account for
triggering autovacuum.

It does look like Tom wrote it new for 29094193f rather than copied it
from somewhere, as those words didn't exist in the pg_autovacuum
contrib module as of that commit.
