But does enabling root login offer any significant benefit in that? IOW, if it's disabled by default, would it cause any significant inconvenience/troubles?? If not, it better be disabled by default. For example for me it would be some inconvenience. I also use a lot of Fedora VMs for testing and none of them has regular user, just root. However I can see the benefits of disabling root login by default. Especially from the security point of view. I think it would be a good move.
