I would hope there are pre-canned targets for different crowds. I also hope 
there is a 
secure default configuration for each of them. I also hope there is a way to 
list all 
of these targets and what is enabled for each one, because that will be needed 
for any 
kind of security analysis.

I hope not. That would be a step backwards in usability and security.
