The handwriting on the wall says that autovac will soon be on by default, and perhaps become not-disablable some day after that (like the second or third time we hear from someone who's lost their data to XID wraparound after disabling it). So if there's a really convincing use-case for locking autovac out of specific databases, we'd better hear it soon.
Sure.. a database that has over 2500 connections per a directly connected Java rich client... I don't want autovac running on it from 8-8 but after that I will run my own vacuum process.
I am smart enough to manage my data. If I want autovac I will turn it on. Joshua D. Drake
