This is almost as bad as Magnus agreeing with JD (!), but I agree with Peter :-). After years of typing the current names, changing them does

But these utilities are mostly using in scripts -> one type, multi use.

According to whom?  The ones that are really at issue I think are
createuser/createlang/dropuser/droplang, and those seem mainly intended
for interactive use.  In a script you might as well use psql -c.

I'm curious as to know how often these are used at all. I think I may have used createuser once and used to use createlang, but I can't recall ever using the others.
