The change had been put into CVS at one point as a pretty-much
agreed-upon thing to do, aiui.  It was removed mainly because it caused
problems for the regression tests which were enough that it was going to
take a while to fix them all so the change was postponed to 8.3...

Quite a few people (myself included) had really been hoping to see it in
8.2 and it's been the going-forward plan ever since autovacuum was put
into the backend (in fact, iirc, having it in the backend was a
prerequisite to having it on by default).
