Re: Press Release

If the index bloat is fixed (we haven't seen firm evidence one way or
'tother yet) AND you were running the pg_autovacuum daemon by default,
then that would get you there.

I wonder if it's possible to have the pg_autovacuum daemon eventually move
into the core once it's tested, so that a simple GUC setting will turn it
on or off?  Is that part of the eventual plan?
