I have a server which only runs several VM's with specific services, no

so you propose when I reiinstall any of them create a user account in
each of them, that will cause boot the first time change to permit root
login and delete the *forced* user account
and the server is hosted remotely, so if anything is wrong with it I can
only access via ssh so this *feature change* is no simple,
True, it is complex.
Maybe we could have an option in firstboot(and other such places) by which user can
override the default non-root account creation. Ie. Say a user is prompted to create
non-root user account; He/she can choose to override it and not create one. In such
workflow, he/she is warned about the possible lockout situation and duly advised to
explicitly enable remote root login in sshd_config(5).
(Just a thought)
