I greatly appreciate Fedora's emphasis on establishing the most secure system possible by default. It was one of my reasons to choose Fedora, years ago. But what makes the Anaconda team think that the system administrator could activate the option for no good reason, just for fun, recklessness or the joy of 'adventure'? I don't mean to be unkind, but in my view you are about to patronize the system administrator in a kind of missionary overzealousness. But reading Fedora vision, Fedora is about Freedom, another good reason to decide for it. > If you are aware of some critical Fedora/Fedora spin usecase that > depends on users regularly ticking this option, please let us know! No system administrator will 'regularly' ticking that option! That is an unrealistic assumption. It is reserved for special exceptions (that's why it is off by default). Others have already described such cases. At the very least, I am in favor of leaving the option in the Server Edition as it is. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
