I'm not pleased about it either; I'd have preferred to see a few more
opinions given (and I'm surprised that no one else bothered to weigh in;
lack of opinions is usually not a problem for pghackers ;-)).

But I really seriously feel that this feature is a bad idea as presently
implemented.  If necessary, I'll volunteer to change it the way I think
it should be (viz, initdb can set up a symlink to a specified xlog
directory; no change from previous behavior anywhere else).
