Fair enough. I thought about doing it that way but was worried that an
additional page scan will raise eyebrows. While it does not affect the
common case because we would have done that scan anyways in the
subsequent vacuum, but in the worst case where most of the pages not
remain all-visible by the time we come back to the second phase of
vacuum, this additional line pointer scan will add some overhead. With
couple of pluses for the approach, I won't mind doing it this way
though.

Thanks,
