Uh. That's how it's done. The warning is only printed if you don't
specifically pick a method.

As for the original question, yes, we can of course do without it. But I
think we shouldn't.
I still say people will get a lot less annoyed by this one than for
example the no-run-as-admin on win32. And this is just a *warning* after
all, it will install the database just fine. Or just add "-A trust".
