Not that I'm volunteering, but I think the biggest issue is many users simply don't know how to approach the problem. Some docs on using syslog, cron, etc. with PostgreSQL to accomplish maintenace jobs would probably be enough.
There is the basic problem that if you don't have root on your host, setting up syslog is one more thing you have to get the rootly ones to do. Some of them are, uh, challenged in that area.
What a polite way to say that they have zero business logging in as root ;)
