I think we are too scared of doing initdb during beta...
Initdb during beta should not be evaultated on a per bug basis, but keep a
list of all things that could be fixed and judge if the total of all the
fixes is worth one initdb. Right now off the top of my head I can think of
the split function and this inherited change, are there more?
my two cents...
