Right. I would like to see that change. But you still need to have CF
tester/the CF app remember the last master branch commit that worked
before bitrot. And you have to provide an easy way to get that
information.

I generally don't care if that means that I have to initdb - I do that
all the time. It's a small price to pay for a workflow that I know is
practically guaranteed to get me a usable postgres executable on the
first try, without requiring any special effort. I don't want to even
think about bitrot until I'm at least 10 minutes into looking at
something.
