createdb, dropdb, createuser, dropuser, reindexdb are binaries that
confuse most newbies. Which tool is theses binaries from? The names
does not give a hint. How often those confusing name tools are used?
AFAICS a graphical tool or psql is used to create roles and databases.
psql -c "stmt" can replace createdb, dropdb, createuser and dropuser.
What about deprecate them (and remove after a support cycle)?
