One motivation was to make it smoother to change the initdb default provider: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/[email protected] https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/[email protected] if we were to make that change, then users might have existing scripts and want to use the environment variable to switch it back to libc without modifying the scripts. If you think we can change the initdb default without introducing an environment variable, then perhaps we don't need v3-0002. What do you think about v3-0001? Regards, Jeff Davis
