Oliver, I think you'r totally wrong moving this discussion from 'Locking' to the whole guidelines of Ubuntu Touch.
Obviously Ubuntu Touch is not focused to power-users and I think no one is suggesting that (at least I'm not), but if guided by fear of configurations Ubuntu Touch will be a system that by default prohibits you to change anything, it will be a iOS. We are talking about giving the user a default configuration that works for 80% of the users, and a plus for the most advanced users, a plus that by the way could be a really cool function and something people probably spread about. If we really want to make a difference, don't let the whole task of doing great functionality to third parties and put at least a couple of power user functionalities in system apps. Returning to the Lock Screen discussion, most people will hate than after blocked the device 5 minutes unlock and find another wallpaper, menu, apps, etc. I think the best behavior is to select the user (if more than one) and then load it without unlock keyring and then do all thing we all agree before.
