I might be managing half a dozen machines in some office at my university, and had I not known about this new, unprecedented feature, I might come in one day and discover that everyone is running a completely different system -- even though none of them have the root password! I also cannot claim that I am familiar with all of the thousands of packages in the Fedora repositories, and would rather not come in one day and have a user ask me for help after having installed dozens of unfamiliar packages after a few weeks of using the system. I do not feel this is a terribly contrived example... -- Ben -- Message sent on: Wed Nov 18 20:00:53 EST 2009
