This is the conclusion I arrived at, too. In fact, I was just about to
post a similar patch set. I'm attaching it here anyway, but I'm fine with
proceeding with your version.
I think the main difference between your patch and mine is that I've
exposed vac_update_datfrozenxid() via a function instead of a VACUUM
option. IMHO that feels a little more natural, but I can't say I feel too
strongly about it.
