I think actually it makes plenty of sense to enhance pg_autovacuum while
it's still contrib stuff. My guess is it'll be much less painful to
whack it around in minor or major ways while it's standalone code.
Once it's integrated in the backend, making significant changes will be
harder and more ticklish. So, now is precisely the time to be
experimenting to find out what works well and what features are needed.
