While on the surface it makes sense not to have a stat entry for a table "with no activity" (since no activity means no need to vacuum), there's 2 problems: This doesn't exactly meet the test of 'least surprise'. If the table's vacuumed for any reason (even manually), we should record the info. If there's a bunch of activity on a table but stats are reset before a vacuum is run on it and then a vacuum is run, the user will still be left thinking that the table needs to be vacuumed. -- Jim C.
