Maybe, but it's a pain to have to work that way. You can't do it in
cases like this, because a temp table is not workable. So that's not
an ideal long term solution.

I agree, since vacuumlazy.c would need to either be given its own
OldestXmin, or knowledge of a wait-up-to XID. Either way we have to
make non-trivial changes to vacuumlazy.c.
