But INFO is not shown by default.

In fact, just about the only useful thing that emits INFO messages is 
VACUUM VERBOSE, so there is a fair precedent for equating the INFO 
level with lots of chatter about VACUUM.

I like to set log_min_messages to INFO (and run vacuum verbosely) while 
a system is stabilizing, so adding autovacuum information there would 
come in handy.
