don't we normally announce if initdb is required on new beta releases? We should.
It was sloppy that we didn't do that for beta5, and I apologize for it.
One problem is that we don't have a defined place for per-beta-version release notes. The current structure of release.sgml doesn't cater for it --- and I doubt we want to permanently memorialize beta-version issues anyway. Any thoughts?
Do the beta changelogs ever end up any place permanent?

We could put a more prominant "**INITDB REQUIRED**" announcement in those when it is required.
Yes, some kind of information "initdb required because column xxx was dropped" would be helpful. When scanning the whole beta4-to-beta5 file, you'd easily miss the consequence of the 2004-11-05 patch ("remove concept of a schema having an associated tablespace").
