And therefore the change that is being debated in this thread – the
default value of KillUserProcesses – does not change anything security-
wise, right? There already was, and there still is, a feature that
sysadmins can opt in to use to enforce an unusually strict policy if
they want, but there has not been, is not, and will not be such a
policy be default, right?

If that's the case, then can we please stop talking about security and
instead debate the usability aspects of this change?
