It's hard to say which tables may or may not grow too large that we
cannot easily run VACUUM FULL on them as part of maintenance. Therefore
we should do the safest thing possible and run VACUUM for routine
maintenance and leave VACUUM FULL when table bloat becomes a problem.
Some tables, such as vim_performance_states can grow so large that a
VACUUM FULL could lock up the table for many minutes and could fail
to complete during the normal 10 minute queue timeout.
