It still doesn't sound very wise.  Good that it's an option, but bad as
a default.  Perhaps we should change all the security options to
off-by-default?

This isn't Windows.

One of the better things about Linux is how things are installed.  You
can check the RPM before installation, to see what it contains and where
it will put it.  Packages are signed, as part of the fight against
tampering and forgeries, and this signing is checked.
