The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/18/routine-vacuuming.html
Description:

The description for the insert threshold talks about percentage of frozen
pages in this text:

24.1.6
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/routine-vacuuming.html#VACUUM-FOR-W=
RAPAROUND

The referenced option however talks about pages, it does not talk about
multiplying it with average number of tuples per page, though.
