Just as a heads-up, this patch wasn't part of the commitfest, but I
intend to review it and possibly commit for 9.4. Not immediately but at
some point.
Arguably this is a bug fix, since the autovac rebalance code behaves
horribly in cases such as the one described here, so I should consider a
backpatch right away. However I don't think it's a good idea to do that
without more field testing. Perhaps we can backpatch later if the new
code demonstrates its sanity.
