I'm afraid I'd not been paying any attention to this discussion,
but better late than never.  I'm okay with letting autovacuum
processes reload config files more often than now.  However,
I object to allowing ProcessConfigFile to be called from within
commands in a normal user backend.  The existing semantics are
that user backends respond to SIGHUP only at the start of processing
a user command, and I'm uncomfortable with suddenly deciding that
that can work differently if the command happens to be VACUUM.
It seems unprincipled and perhaps actively unsafe.

            regards, tom lane
