Hi - this scares me.

The thought that a user (or customer when product) would mistakenly
initialize the DB without much of any warning.

I'm not sure where this should be, but as a service script option 
without any warning to prompt to confirm to me is a dangerous place to 
have this.

Can we re-visit this?
