How many questions about vacuum still grabbing all available bandwidth, vacuum slowing down the whole system, vacuum being all evil do you want to answer for 8.0? Over and over again we are defending reasonable default configuration values against gazillions of little switches, and this is a reasonable default that will be a relief for large databases and makes more or less no difference for small ones.
What basis do you have for saying that this is a reasonable default? Does anyone else agree?
Just curious, but isn't this one of the key points about pg_autovacuum in the first place? So that you vacuum what needs to be vacuum'd, and not *everything* ... ? Shouldn't the answer to the 'bandwidth issue' change to 'you should install/use pg_autovacuum'?
