Maybe I'm just still being naive, but I'm not seeing the dependency of
automation of vacuum on table-space reusability.
Or is it just that the there's only one hacker who can do it, and
table-space reusability is way more important? [Oui. D'Accord.]
If there is a dependency, I'd be interested in learning what it is. If
it's just a man-power thing, then I'm just wasting your time. Sorry.
PS:
I checked the "\h create database" It don't say nothin' about needing to
connect to template1 to create a database, nor does it say that it will
copy the current database as a starter, which may or may not be true...
The docs at postgresql.org also don't say nothin' about connecting to template1.
