While warning a client that just did a Slony-based version upgrade to
make sure to freeze the new database, it occurred to me that it should
be safe to freeze without the cleanup lock. This is interesting because
it would allow a scan_all vacuum to do it's job without blocking on the
cleanup lock.
Does anyone have a feel for whether scan_all vacuums blocking on the
cleanup lock is an actual problem?
