That statement is content-free, Josh.  Exactly what are you assuming
this developer *does* have?  For example, if he hasn't got createdb
privilege, it will hardly matter to him whether any DBs other than
"postgres" contain plpgsql.  If he does have createdb, it's already
possible by default for him to create trusted languages including
plpgsql in his new DB.  So it's still 100% unclear to me who we are
catering to.
