Well, where a tool chooses to install stuff is the business of that
tool; there isn't any particular reason to think that default would
suddenly become a preferred choice, I think.
I dislike the name pg_system because it implies that that DB is somehow
special from the point of view of the system ... which is exactly what
it would *not* be.
