-        This new behavior reduces the work that will be necessary later
-        when the table needs to be frozen, and it allows pages to be
-        marked as all-visible sooner.  All-visible pages allow index-only
-        scans to access fewer heap rows.
+        Previously, insert-only activity would trigger auto-analyze but
+        not auto-vacuum, on the grounds that there could not be any dead
+        tuples to remove.  However, a vacuum scan has other useful
+        side-effects such as setting page-all-visible bits, which improves
+        the efficiency of index-only scans.  Also, allowing an insert-only
+        table to receive periodic vacuuming helps to spread out the work
+        of <quote>freezing</quote> old tuples, so that there is not
+        suddenly a large amount of freezing work to do when the entire
+        table reaches the anti-wraparound threshold all at once.
