ISTM that if we were going to put effort into this it makes more sense
to pull pg_repack into core. BTW, it's approach to this is to summarily
kill anything that attempts DDL on a table being repacked.

Please don't top-post, it leads to confusion.

It's just how the authors of pg_repack decided to handle it. It seems pretty reasonable, since you probably don't want an errant DDL statement to cause the rollback of hours or days of pg_repack work.

Ultimately, I don't think you'll find many people interested in working on this, because the whole goal is to never need VACUUM FULL or pg_repack. If you're clustering just for the sake of clustering, that has it's own set of difficulties that should be addressed.
