and its a PITA, stopping many things working, we dont have time to sit in 
front of a newly built server and spend an hour telling the thing its 
"safe" blah blah blah, its one of the reasons the fedora desktops on 
internal lan in still FC1 because its stable, although, by default we dont 
use half of RH's installed stuff on the desktops, we use the real 
sendmails, real firefox's real openoffices, real evolutions, real kernels 
, real mplayer and other multimedia stuff that plays the formats WE want 
not what RH decides we should use, and so on and so on.

its simple, if the user doesnt want to use it, they should not have to 
install or deconfigure it.
