It's more of a general observation. Several downstream distributors turned
autovacuum on by default some time ago, their decision process having been
something like, "Automatic vacuum? Cool!". There are certainly cases where
enabling autovacuum by default is reasonable. But remember the lengthy
discussion we had before the 8.2 release about whether to turn it on, and the
extensive development necessary for 8.3 to make enabling it by default safe.
There was clearly more thought being put into it than some of the
distributors did.
