The problem is that the two commands do something different, so it
would be misleading. Renaming VACUUM (FULL) is a good idea in principle,
but I think that is more than 10 years too late. The compatibility
break would be too painful.
Make VACUUM (FULL) a synonym for RECREATE TABLE, then say in the docs that VACUUM (FULL) is deprecated.
Then drop it in PG 27...
Perhaps you could write a patch to add a column "last_rewritten"
to "pg_stat_all_tables"...
I'm a worse C programmer than I am a DBA.
