There are several use cases when local non-root users are not needed at all as others already pointed out.
Including in some cases where there should both be no root password _and_ no local non-system users.
The change itself is simple however the problem is more complex overall. Here are some thoughts I have about the change:
- administrators are alerted when they use weak password for root by
anaconda
This has long been the case. However, if it explains _why_, I forget, for the same reason that this never works. (Yeah yeah whatever, I just want to install my system now and keep using "godmode" as my root password just like I always have so I don't forget it.)
[more snipped]
- default sudoers uses password of an user for authentication, so even
when I have a non-root user in wheel group, I only need one user's password to become root
This is also the case already.
