Like I said, I don't actually think it _is_ better.  But it would
solve the problem that some people think it's a bad thing that you
run superuser-type commands without reading the manual, and then get
a badly-secured system.  (The idea here, incidentally, is not to
replace the initdb-time option, but to set the default of the initdb
command.)
