I hope so!

I think it's premature to have this conversation. I need to get something
done / working before we dicuss optimal configuration. That said, I also
agree that if it's good enough, it should be on by default.

ps: I'm hoping to have time to work on this starting in May. I haven't
really done any development on pg_autovacuum beyond bug fixing what is
already in CVS, so.... If someone out there wants to work on it, don't
wait for me, I won't be offended :-) I just want to see it up and
running.
