 On my core development installs I run a custom `wp-content/install.php`
 file which, among other things, logs me in and redirects me to `/wp-admin`
 immediately after installing WordPress. It's '''really''' nice to be
 dumped straight into the admin area after hitting the 'Install WordPress'
 button.

 Opening this ticket up for discussion about whether core should do this by
 default.

 What problems could it cause? Will it increase the likelihood of the admin
 not remembering their password? Will it avoid cause annoyances for users
 who use password managers because you're skipping the login form? Anything
 else to consider?
