The shield is something I have always considered to be pointless and
confusing to new users. I teach Linux at a local college and when we use
Fedora, I always have to explain the shield. For some reasons the shield is
confusing to them.

For me its just utterly pointless. I have yet to get an explanation as to
why its there. It just adds another step in logging in to my machine.
