Pretty sure having a default root password in some package in Fedora is 
a non-starter.

The point of doing an (automated) install (which can be minimal, or at 
least start with minimal and build upon that with only exactly the 
needed functionality) is so that you can do the install unattended, 
reboot the machine and put it into production, unattended.

root auth and firewall config are the main ones.  Note that we don't 
have any UI for firewall config either, so not really a lot of code 
duplication.
