Milan, calm down. You may not be stupid and no one has suggested so by 
now. But you may be perceived as troll in this thread.

Seems you misunderstand the difference between hypothesis and 
demonstrating something. All you have made is a claim based on water. No 
facts. No technical arguments. Just. An. Opinion. Have I missed 
something more than that?

I will paraphrase you: Is this about security or about your ego?

It is not to say I disagree with your opinion that simply disabling root 
login is bad idea.

Not because it would make things less secure. With password logins 
enabled the bar is so low it is not easy to make it lower. (May be it 
does not apply for an average Fedora user but definitely does for an 
average computer user which Fedora now tries to target with some changes.)

But because it is a hindrance. IMHO when contemplating incompatible 
change of the default let's make it worth the trouble and make the 
default really secure by disabling password logins completely and for 
all accounts.

I would love to see an Security spoke added to Anaconda where one could 
override level of security and particular details like this.
