Yeah, I know, but feel like I'm being a bit naughty in using VACUUM
FREEZE -- the documentation says:

So I figure that since it is deprecated, at some point I'll be setting
the vacuum_freeze_min_age option rather than leaving it at the default
and using VACUUM FREEZE in the nightly maintenance run.
