The initdb will be needed, no matter the release time is a month or
six, right ? There is no point in holding technology that is ready.
Those who don't need the release, can wait for the next one and avoid
the initdb.

Also, as a snapshot, the Win32 version won't get properly tested as it
would be as a regular release, specially because most of the
developers here work on UNIX. The best field testing would be
deploying a regular release to the hundreds of Win32 users that wait
for years for the Win32 version...

... just my thoughts, of course.
