I'm honestly not sure if you're just trolling at this point. Why would anybody reasonable be concerned about DROP DATABASE dropping the directory for the database? You're not honestly suggesting that anybody would write an extension or anything like that that stores data in the wrong database's directory, right? Other iterations like fsyncing files, copying the entire template database directory, etc are similarly harmless or positive. Greetings, Andres Freund
