Hi, I was dismayed to learn that VACUUM VERBOSE on a table no longer tells you anything about whether any pages were skipped due to pins. Now the obvious explanation for that is that we no longer skip pages entirely just because we find that they are pinned. But I think failing to fully process a page due to a pin is still a noteworthy event, and I think that VACUUM VERBOSE should tell you how many times that happened.
