Right, but unfortunately not an option on managed services. It's clear
that this restriction should not be a general guideline for Postgres
development, but it makes the amcheck extension (that is now shipped
everywhere due to being in-code I believe) somewhat less useful for
use-case of checking your whole database for corruption.
