What better solutions? What password I pick should be none of the
installer's business.
False. It's entirely reasonable for a product to mandate an appropriate
security policy, so until and unless we move account creation entirely
to firstboot, it's something the installer will have to expose.
If the real issue is remote logins, then we need to just disable
remote
password logins by default (i.e., allow SSH keys only by default). For local
logins, even the empty string is a reasonable password under some setups.
Hey look, you just proposed better solutions. How about assuming good
faith in the future? It'd be a nice change of pace, and I think we'd
all appreciate a more respectful and collaborative environment.
