Short reason: its easier

Long reason:

- the user that creates
a CMF must exist in the ZODB. If you ship a prepoulated ZODB you must 
create the user account in Zope and users will  have to be told. I've 
been told by about 30 people this is bad.

- you cannot alter the ZODB according to user preferences given in the 
installer. Eg: install this product? install this skin?

- the download is smaller and shipping a pre populated ZODB to a user 
with a ZODB that is then thrown away is daft

- you have to script the creation of the zodb so you have to script this 
anyway

Perhaps we can just piss off kapil and revert back to the orginal plone 
initialize which worked just fine.
