I think we should stick to the wording we've agreed to be clearer.
Maybe do manage-ag.sgml like so:

     By instructing CREATE DATABASE to copy template0 instead of
     template1, you can create a pristine user database, that is one where
     no user-defined objects exist and where system objects have not been
     altered.  This is particularly handy ...
