-1 for a time based setting.
After years of consideration, bloat is now controllable by altering
the size of the undo tablespace.
I think PostgreSQL needs something size-based also. It would need some
estimation to get it to work like that, true, but it is actually the
size of the bloat we care about, not the time. So we should be
thinking in terms of limits that we actually care about.
