What you usually get is something like this:

And when initdb falls back to UTF-8 with the patch you get:

> The database cluster will be initialized with locale Chinese (Simplified)_China.936.
> Encoding GBK implied by locale is not allowed as a server-side encoding.
> The default database encoding has been set to UTF8 instead.

The new message fits in nicely with the surrounding messages IMHO. Or
are you thinking that it should be more warning like, similar to the
message about missing text search configuration? Something like:

> The database cluster will be initialized with locale Chinese
(Simplified)_China.936.
> initdb: encoding GBK implied by locale is not allowed as a
server-side encoding.
> The default database encoding has been set to UTF8 instead.
> initdb: could not find suitable text search configuration for locale
Chinese (Simplified)_China.936

That's fine with me as well..
