Is there no case where it can be a permanent XID for a table or toast table?

The other issue is relminmxid, which if you're looking at relfrozenxid
you'd want to look at as well. So you can't do a simple WHERE here.

Perhaps a better way to handle this is to just add correctly computed
age fields to pg_stat_all_tables and pg_stat_database.
