I completely agree with Bruce here. Requiring an initdb for every beta
release significantly reduces the number of people who will be willing
to try it out -- so initdb's between betas are not disasterous, but
should be avoided if possible.

Since waiting till next week significantly reduces the chance of an
initdb for beta3 and has no serious disadvantage that I can see, it
seems the right decision to me.
