I think we should list VACUUM FULL as deprecated, document that feature
in the REPACK documentation page, and leave VACUUM FULL in working state
so as not to break existing scripts.  Same for CLUSTER.

I was unclear - this is indeed what I suggesting as well.  Reframe the documentation but leave the commands functioning.
