I guess my main concern is that we'll have a solution to the problem of dead tuples which is only half way there. It is only an incremental improvement upon the contrib module and solves only one real problem: users do not read up on VACUUM or autovacuum. This is at the expense of making it appear to be suitable for the general user base when it isn't, in my opinion. That isn't the fault of autovacuum but is a function of the cost of ordinary vacuum.
Would you mind expounding on why you think autovacuum isn't suitable for the general public? I know it's not a silver bullet, but I think in general, it will be helpful for most people.
