No reason - but why do I have to have the default on my OVERWHELMINGLY
LARGE NUMBER OF SERVER INSTALLS be less secure b/c you want to do
something like the above?
I shouldn't.
If you want to do that on the livecd - have at it.
if you want to make it the default system-wide then we have a problem.

But once we're talking about OVERWHELMINGLY LARGE NUMBER OF SERVER INSTALLS,
aren't we also talking about kickstart and other automated management tools
with which configuring things away from their default values is a standard and
fairly straightforward thing to do?
