I don't think this really makes sense. There's basically no argument for having it in core other than "I'm too lazy to install a separate package". Unlike the case for autovacuum, there isn't anything an in-core implementation could do that an external one doesn't do as well or better. So I'm not eager to take on additional maintenance burden for such a thing.
