No -- I just find that most of afterboot(8) can be done from the console;
even serial console, at first boot, configure the network, add a non-root
user, add them to wheel, enable sshd.
I guess I'm just having trouble imagining the situation where you have
console access, but need to do basic post-install configuration via the
network, as root, remotely.
Even with CF/Embedded, you ship out master.passwd prepopualted.
And this is likely the rationel why the rest of the projects changed it.

I dont have a fresh install anywhere -- but I want to say that it doesnt
default to PermitRootLogin yes after the install.
I remember that I filed PRs with FreeBSD/NetBSD a few years ago to get this
changed, but Redhat Support is giving some some noise about:
"Well the source vendor doesn't disable it by default ..."
