So you will impose your choices on a community,
because you know better than they do ?

Nonsense. I spoke a reasoned opinion about overarching concerns of a
community versus unsupported claims, such as this, that these choices
are merely a personal matter. I have no power to impose anything, save
an expression of my point of view, within constraints. The security
policies, in general, have been in place for a long time for good,
traditional reasons. If there is any imposition on community it is the
unfounded demand for ignoring these reasons. Even the tiny bite you
excised from my post has no logical relation to your insinuation. Bah.
Such dishonest straw dogs as this are what annoy *me*.

Apart from not seeing any sense in logging into a de as root (you can
always start single applications as root, if you need them), I was
looking into the changelog and the patches and saw nothing about
disabling the root login.
So I have to assume it's an upstream change and if you want to discuss
it, best do it there...
