That's fair. I didn't really imagine that we'd want to put the tool
into 9.5 myself. Still, I think that amcheck could have some role to
play in managing the problem. Even the near-term availability of
amcheck for 9.5 as a satellite project would count. That could happen
without blocking the point release. I just don't want to go over
anyone's head with that.

"REINDEX everything" isn't a realistic plan for a lot of users.
