Although, possibly more irritating than actually rebuilding it is
evaluating borderline bloat situations to determine if they will "work
themselves out" over time or whether you need to bite the bullet to do
aggressive maintenance.  Having some way for routine vacuums (or any
other routine process, currently available or that could be scheduled)
to "nibble away" at moderate bloat without significant performance or
usability impact would make life easier for at least *some* DBAs.
