Is the idea of a single one-size-fits-all security policy reasonable? I
think Fedora has a broad range of users.
Probably not but there are some basics that should be implemented for everyone.
Security is a tradeoff. If you make it impossible for the bad guys to get
in, the good guys probably can't get any work done. How secure do you need
to be? How much are you willing to pay for it?

I'd much rather have an overview document that explains the likely attacks
and potential solutions, and their costs and benefits. Additionally, I think
it's much easier to follow a policy if I understand the reasonaing behind it.

I think sample policy documents with descriptions of their target audience
and checklists for how to implement them would be helpful.
