Hello,
----- Original Message -----
The only remaining problem is for systems which have been installed
previously and have only root login and someone upgrades them to new
Fedora release. Here the system would be made inaccessible by the
openssh-server rpm upgrade from the old Fedora to F22.

I am afraid there is no easy solution for the problem above.

   Ummn for Fedora upgrades, maybe in OpenSSH %post install section we could
   display a bold warning message about this change, so that the user is
   aware of it. This message could be removed in the subsequent updates to
   the OpenSSH package.

That’s work for the user, and probably even for the programmer more work than automatically detecting the situation and not changing the configuration.  “Hello, this is a program telling you to do manually something a program could easily do” is rarely the best answer.

sure?

many people are using Linux because they hope to know to some degree what their computer is doing instead "something magically does something"

not that i personally don't have the knowledge to keep control but that's not the point - to keep a difference between Linux and MS/Apple a Linux distribution sometimes should follow "better safe than sorry" or in other words "better ask instead get complaints why not asked"
