Not at all. Autovacuum should work exactly as before (seen from the
outside, the implementation is a bit different). The coordinator is an
async event processor. Events may origin from sockets, or may be driven
by time, as is the case for autovacuum (up to something like a 1 second
precision or something, I don't remember exactly).

(There's nothing that needs to be merged with autovacuum. It already is
merged, if you want).
