Hi,
I was dismayed to learn that VACUUM VERBOSE on a table no longer tells
you anything about whether any pages were skipped due to pins. Now the
obvious explanation for that is that we no longer skip pages entirely
just because we find that they are pinned. But I think failing to
fully process a page due to a pin is still a noteworthy event, and I
think that VACUUM VERBOSE should tell you how many times that
happened.
