Simple thing to make pg_autovacuum more useful

Hello,

   Table "pg_catalog.pg_autovacuum"     Column      |  Type   | Modifiers 
- ------------------+---------+-----------vacrelid         | oid     | not nullenabled          | boolean | not
nullvac_base_thresh | integer | not nullvac_scale_factor | real    | not nullanl_base_thresh  | integer | not
nullanl_scale_factor| real    | not nullvac_cost_delay   | integer | not nullvac_cost_limit   | integer | not
nullfreeze_min_age  | integer | not nullfreeze_max_age   | integer | not null
 


Can we by default set vac_cost_limit and vac_cost_delay have a DEFAULT
- -1? That way by default it will use the settings in postgresql.conf?

Secondly can we set the default for freeze_min_age to 100mil (I think
that is the default in the docs) and freeize_max_age to the default
200000000 .

In the environments we manage we are using pg_autovacuum alot in order
to manage individual relations.

This is probably too late for 8.3 :( but it should would make our lives
easier.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
