I don't think so, but I didn't know we had hopes for time-based
autovacuum. What exactly do you mean?
Initially there were some thoughts on schedule-based autovacuum
parameters, but it seems that interest has dropped for that feature, so
I haven't pushed much for that. However, I don't think that this patch
series affects that in any way.
BTW I think this patch series makes sense, though I haven't looked at it
in detail. I guess it means I'll have to have a look at the IMessages
stuff as well.
