On this topic, I think we're getting back to the idea of having non-core daemon helpers that should get "supervised" the way postmaster already does with backends wrt starting and stoping them at the right time. So a supervisor daemon with a supervisor API that would have to support autovacuum as a use case, then things like pgagent, PGQ and pgbouncer, would be very welcome. What about starting a new thread about that? Or you already know you won't want to push the extensibility of PostgreSQL there?
