Generally, rolling back a transaction doesn't reduce the amount of disk
used. Only VACUUM FULL actually shrinks relations.

Seem to me if the RelationOpen stores a pointer to a counter that gets
incremented on mdextend, it should work reasonably well. Extending
doesn't happen that often relative to other database activity.

Have a nice day,
