One reason of not using lib-pq is that this one has to wait for the completion of each vacuum (we don't has async execution in libpq right?), but by signaling does not. But by signaling, we have to detect that if the forked backend successfully done its job. I am not sure how to easily incorporate this into current signaling framework.
