We need to have this installed on the machine by default because it
allows
a user to enroll a smart card.
This is required to make use of the smart card login feature.
That's a logical fallacy.
Number of bugs filed against esc by non-RH people relating to its use: 0
Number of bugs filed against thinkfinger by non-RH people relating to
its use: 2
And yet, we don't install thinkfinger by default. (We could then compare the
number of users with fingerprint scanning hardware vs. smart cards.)
