I absolutely do.  You will not convince me that whacking around the
behavior of autovacuum in a maintenance release is a remotely sane
thing to do.  There are plenty of things wrong with the way autovacuum
works today, and I am all in favor of fixing them - but not in the
back-branches.  Every time we whack behavior around in the back
branches, no matter how innocuous it looks, somebody's environment
gets broken, and then they won't apply patch releases, and it causes
all sorts of headaches.  At least, that's my experience at
EnterpriseDB. YMMV.
