Setting a policy so stuff like this doesn't happen again?)


1) We should recognize this new policy departs from decades of Unix and Linux sysadmin experience.

2) F12 policy should be reverted to F11, ASAP.  Possibly with a CVE.

3) Due to #1, F13+ should not deviate from the decades-old default.

4) Release notes should explain new [and after step #2, optional] policy in detail, including how to turn it off again. Seth's laudable write-up efforts should not have been necessary -- that info should be prepared.

5) The people who want this new security policy should add an opt-in checkbox in Anaconda or firstboot.
