Virt-builder has a new '--ssh-inject' feature (in F22 only).
$ virt-builder fedora-20 --ssh-inject root
would inject your current ssh key into the root account of the new VM. There are other variations, including ways to create a non-root user account, see:
Excellent! :)
So far the consensus seem that it is okay to reverse the current default and set PermitRootLogin=no. I'll talk to the upstream maintainer - plautrba(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Plautrba).

We can install machine w/o user accounts, removing the ability to log in as root via ssh means those machines will not be accessible.
If you want to remove root access that should be conditionally done at firstboot only if a user account was created.
Simo.
