Why is SSH in this list?  Is it a common thing for a developer,
student, or hobbyist to want to connect back INTO their workstation
from a remote location?  If so, is it common that they'd want a CLI
session vs. a full graphical session (Remote Desktop)?

I don't think it is obvious to some of these audiences that the local
account login password also allows remote access.  I see people set a
simple password for a "throwaway" or "test" laptop for example, but
unfortunately this exposes them to being hacked via SSH.

Or is the SSH service shipped turned off by default in Fedora
Workstation?
