That's correct. IF the default pg_hba.conf allows for IDENT
based "postgres" access.

Which the bootstrapper does, internally, anyway ;-)

I have been tracking sqlalchemy and have failed to see the
*big* advantage so far. To go out and use a particular
toolset which requires me to use a "philosophy on how things
database *ought* to be done" will take some convincing. If I
see really convincing arguments, fine. I don't see too much
trouble in how we currently do it (apart from the fact that
some people think the complexity that is left is not
needed). One thing that's particularly unfortunate about
those sql kits is that many assume they are the one creating
tables and such.
