Err, in a btree, page 0 is the metapage, not the root. The root page moves around, but it's never page 0 (it starts at page 1). I think GIN indexes also have metapages, not sure about the others. Not sure if this changes your reasoning at all, just thought it was worth mentioning. > This is pretty > harmless, but mildly annoying.
