Sure, but one step at a time. Getting it auto-launched from the
postmaster is already a good increment in usability, and offhand
I don't see that there's any part of that work that we'd have to
throw away later.
(This is not to say that I like the patch; I haven't reviewed it yet.
But I don't want to reject it just because it's not the final form
of autovacuum.)
