Actually, there are tons of _done_ items on the list. I mentioned only
the big undone ones.

OK, now we have to decide if we are going to require this be done as
part of initdb. I am inclined to say the user _has_ to be _prompted_ in
a secure matter for the password as part of initdb. Have a command-line
switch for the password is not secure, IMHO, though it is better than
nothing.
Let's get people's opinions on this, and we can mark it as done.

Great. Also dropping a database required this too.
