Sure, I read it before asking.

Taking the first table in the list as an example:

        relname          | n_live_tup | n_dead_tup |   left   |
n_mod_since_analyze |  left
--------------------------+------------+------------+----------+---------------------+--------
fooooooooooo             |      32781 |     240663 |  -234057 |
             513265 | -509937

n_dead_tup (not the actual value, but some time after calling
pg_stat_reset) is much larger than 20% of n_live_tup 32781, and
n_mod_since_analyze is much larger than 10% of it.

Yet it is kept unvacuumed and unanalyzed for a long time.

autovacuum_(vacuum|analyze)_threshold is 50.

What am I missing?
