Description:
mysql_install_db relies on creating my.cnf based on a my-default.cnf

in order to provide a custom/own this should be optional

How to repeat:
install mysql-server. delete my-default.cnf
run mysql_install_db --rpm

Suggested fix:
from my point of view my.cnf must not be created by `mysql_install_db`

Thank you for the report.

Although this bug is almost same as bug #68117 I verify it separately, because your arguments are reasonable and there is a sense to not create configuration file in some environments.
