And > the worse part is that you (as an admin) might not even know it ! I think uncommenting the line by default would be OK as on the two F11 systems I have the only user in the wheel group is root. I had to manually add myself to wheel to get extra permissions. If you install the system, you know the root password, so you can use su to get a root prompt anyway. So I suppose it comes down to whether we should be adding users to the wheel group by default. I guess it could be a checkbox in firstboot... "Allow this user to perform administrative tasks" or something. Then administrators could choose whether or not to add the user to wheel. > IMHO, stricter by default in such a case is better.

I agree, but if this were an option in firstboot I think it would be obvious.
