Also, for any kind of early boot troubleshooting even once a user is
created, systemd emergency and rescue targets only accept root user
login. If root user is disabled, it's impossible to do such early boot
troubleshooting. So I think systemd needs a way to accept an admin
user (wheel group) as an alternative login rather than only root.
