Minimal me :-) and Solaris Architect committee have complain. Question is also
how many users really use these commands. For example vacuumdb is not too
important now when we have autovacuum. You can specify tablespace in createdb
command but you don't have createtablespace command and so on.

I will send survey to general list today and I hope we get some useful information.
