Good point, this totally breaks anyone not using local authentication, I
think based on that this feature change really needs to be blocked.

I think it is a really bad idea, it will break many things for me
personally and I am sure others also. this is because I set a root
password at install time but do not create a user, I then ssh to the
box and join it to my ipa domain for user authentication. I will now be
unable to do so.
