Autovacuum will undoubtedly migrate into the core. I'm not sure how
soon, or whether the end result will look much like the present
contrib code, but everybody agrees that this is something we need for
main-line development. Accordingly, I don't see the point in expending
extra effort on this in a (hypothetical) embedded-like wrapper for PG.
