Is there an argument for _not_ having the default username as Admin? Maybe as one of the install steps we ask what the default username should be? Or include it in wp_config...?
Yes, if the default WP super user is not the regular and expected "admin" user login, then an attacker will have a more difficult time hacking and cracking your WordPress. If anything, automated attacks would be much more likely to fail. In an ideal world, you would never post anything as the admin. Your day to day blogging and commenting would be done as a regular author user, not as user with admin privileges. Mike
