Personally I think the naming decision is close enough to be a coin
toss, and so either choice is fine with me. However, I think it is
Clearly Unacceptable for createdb's switches to be spelled differently
than the underlying SQL command's options. So it's not really "let's
not change this" but "which one do you consider it more important to not
change"?
