This patch warns about oid/xid wraparound during VACUUM. Apply the part
people consider appropriate. I may not be around before beta.

None of it is appropriate anymore...

OID wraparound isn't a problem?

Well, it could be a problem if an app is relying on uniqueness of OIDs
without having installed an unique index on OIDs. However, I do not
think it is the business of the backend to issue nuisance warnings that
will come out whether an app is using unsafe practices or not.
