Description:
mysqld --initialize prints the password as a warning:

2015-07-24T08:47:55.049959Z 1 [Warning] A temporary password is generated for root@localhost: <pwd text>

This should be a [Note]

How to repeat:
mysqld --initialize and observe the stdout and stderr

Suggested fix:
Reduce to a note.

Noted in 5.7.9, 5.8.0 changelogs.

The initial-password message written by mysqld --initialize to the
error log has been reduced from a [Warning] to a [Note].
