sure:
2:
i don't like the idea of setting a random password arbitrarily because
it could lead to confusion, especially for existing installations.
furthermore, i don't like the idea of putting a mysql adm password in a
file or otherwise communicating it to the admin on general principle.
1:
i'm kind of ambivalent towards the current situation. or, i don't like
it, but i'm not that unhappy.
3:
i like the idea of prompting the admin for a password, but only in a way
that won't be be annoying. that is, it shouldn't ask the admin if
the password is already set, and it shouldn't ask the admin every time.
