Back-patch to 9.0. Since this only affects bootstrapping, it makes no

I'm actually not nearly so sanguine about this not affecting existing
installations. It means, for example, that anyone who has written
monitoring scripts that watch the wal position will see behaviour
they're not familiar with.
You mean, they will see an unfamiliar wal position right after initdb? I
guess, but who runs monitoring scripts on a freshly initdb'd database
before doing anything on it?
