Well, the reason that value is 200 million is for pg_clog cleanup, not for xid wraparound protection. The next sentence does relate to xid wraparound, but it seems to fit because the previous sentence ends with xid wraparound: Note that the system will launch autovacuum processes to prevent wraparound even when autovacuum is otherwise disabled. If we were worried about just xid wraparound I assume the value would be 2 billion. Do you have a suggestion?
