I've considered several times proposing that I want to be able to turn
off or do something about autovacuum log messages. I just always
thought it would be rejected.
I have it set up so that I get the last few hundred lines of my postgres
logs mailed to me each day. However, most of the time I just get a few
hundred autovacuum messages. So, I had to much around with grepping out
the autovacuum lines, etc.
I personally don't see the point of there being soooo many of those
autovacuum log messages...
