Should we really recommend "-A md5 or -A password"?

Hi,

I just came across this:
"Also, specify -A md5 or -A password so that the default trust authentication mode is not used;"
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/creating-cluster.html

Shouldn't we change that to "-A scram-sha-256" ?

Regards
Daniel
