REPACK absorbs the functionality of VACUUM FULL and CLUSTER in a single command. Because this functionality is completely different from regular VACUUM, having it separate from VACUUM makes it easier for users to understand; as for CLUSTER, the term is heavily overloaded in the IT world and even in Postgres itself, so it's good that we can avoid it. We retain those older commands, but de-emphasize them in the documentation, in favor of REPACK; the difference between VACUUM FULL and CLUSTER (namely, the fact that tuples are written in a specific ordering) is neatly absorbed as two different modes of REPACK. This allows us to introduce further functionality in the future that works regardless of whether an ordering is being applied, such as (and especially) a concurrent mode.
