Thanks. The only significant problem I saw mentioned other than the
rather ephemeral security issues was the one regarding statically linked
postgres. I therefore propose that
a) loading plpgsql in template1 can be disabled by an initdb switch, and
b) initdb will not try to load it if postgres is statically linked,
assuming we can develop a reasonable test for that.

cheers
