It was one person's personal arrogance along with project's
failure to make this particular thing obvious before too late.

Hughes often refers to the change only being made for the
"desktop spin", but that doesn't really make sense as the feature
was added to all of Fedora. Certainly, some spins--server, for
example--could change this default, but that seems backward. The
core should default to secure choices, and allow spins to relax
those requirements if they so desire.

Would you please stop advocating idiocy?  They acknowledged it,
and the last thing we really want to do is take *wrong* example
at that.

PS: похоже, в следующий раз придётся сесть и переводить куски
с LWN, чтоб потом не выглядеть парлевуфрансе.  Что ж, правильно.
