Yeah, I was looking for something like "-c" in initdb, only to realize
there's nothing like that. The main "problem" with adding that is that
we're unlikely to backpatch that (I guess), and thus it does not really
solve the issue for the OP.
I'm not sure we'd be keen to backpatch a change of the default, but
maybe we would ...
