What is the status of this? Is it something that will be included in
8.1 or 8.0.n? I might be able to patch the current code but that
doesn't seem like a useful thing to do if a better solution will arrive
eventually. I am currently running vacuums from a cron job and I think
I will be happy with that for the time being.

(Incidentally, I have also found that the indexes on my pg_attributes
table were taking up over half a gigabyte, which came down to less than
40 megs after reindexing them. Is there a case for having autovacuum
also call reindex?)
