   Sure. Could you please elaborate how would you like this key to be
injected into the 'root' account? Feature page does have a listed
workflow change:

  "Anaconda installer OR maybe OpenSSH package needs to create
   initial set of authentication keys for 'root' user."

It'll help if you could add your details to the ether pad, for
later reference.

  We are still in the proposal state, not execution yet. IMO, before
we request the respective upstream developers to provide the needed
functionality, we need to state and agree on the usability requirements.
That'll be useful in the evaluation of the feature by the FES committee too.
Otherwise it's a chicken-and-egg problem.

I'd request all(those who are opposing) too describe their requirements in
the etherpad page above.

Thank you.
