agreed there - I dont think the "no initdb rule during BETA" really buys
us that much these days. If people test our betas at all they do on
scratch boxes in development/staging, i really doubt that (especially
given the .0 history we had in the last years) people really move -BETA
installs to production or expect to do so.
