On this topic, I think we're getting back to the idea of having non-core
daemon helpers that should get "supervised" the way postmaster already
does with backends wrt starting and stoping them at the right time.
So a supervisor daemon with a supervisor API that would have to support
autovacuum as a use case, then things like pgagent, PGQ and pgbouncer,
would be very welcome.
What about starting a new thread about that? Or you already know you
won't want to push the extensibility of PostgreSQL there?
