I believe this is called "making things `idiot-proof'". This is the
direction Microsoft's software takes, and I wouldn't be really happy to
see that in PG. This would eventually lead to limitations for PG's
advanced users (well, maybe not in this particular case), disallowing them
to do things, because the software "thinks it's wrong".
On the other hand - initdb has several "sanity" checks if I'm not mistaken.
