There currently are three GUCs that control bgworkers: max_background_workers min_spare_background_workers max_spare_background_workers The first replaces the former autovacuum_max_workers GUC. As before, it is an overall limit, much like max_connections. The later two are additional. They are per-database lower and upper limits for the amount of idle workers an any point in time. These later two are what I'm referring to as the min/max approach. And what I'm arguing cannot be replaced by a timeout without loosing functionality.
