Database "postgres"

I assume it's harmless to drop the database named "postgres" (named after
the DB superuser)?

You might want to recreate it afterwards, since various tools expect it
to be there (for instance createdb, createuser, "psql -l" will all fail
by default if it isn't there). But there's nothing especially magic
about it.
