Since we use the term aggressive scan in the docs, I personally don't feel unnatural about that. But since this option also disables index cleanup when not enabled explicitly, I’m concerned a bit if user might get confused. I came up with some names like FEEZE_FAST and FREEZE_MINIMAL but I'm not sure these are better. BTW if this option also disables index cleanup for faster freezing, why don't we disable heap truncation as well? Regards, -- Masahiko Sawada EnterpriseDB: https://www.enterprisedb.com/
