Yea, I mean, to be honest, when I initially replied to the thread
saying I thought temporarily disabling eager scanning for parallel
heap vacuuming was viable, I hadn't looked at the patch yet and
thought that there was a separate way to enable the new parallel heap
vacuum (separate from the parallel option for the existing parallel
index vacuuming). I don't like that this disables functionality that
worked when I pushed the eager scanning feature.
