No, but none of the others are better.  See previous discussions in the
archives.  I don't think the situation has changed any since the last
time we hashed this out.

If they supply a password to initdb, shouldn't we then require a password in pg_hba.conf.

This is further to my previous suggestion that we output the encoding that is being defaulted to.


NEW USERS DO NOT KNOW THAT -W EXISTS!

Even the majority of experienced users don't!

It's a real pain in the butt that stuff like -E and -W aren't required parameters to initdb.
