It was done in August for rawhide/f8, mainly because nothing required it,
and it is easy to add for new installs later.
Bill
In my nightmare use case scenario, install F8, enable NIS authentication
at first boot, get the gdm prompt, no users are listed as their shell is
tcsh, root login is now disabled, a graphically oriented user is locked
out of their system.
I know how to work around this, it likely won't happen for upgrades, but
it does cause some problems.
Thanks,
