Well, though I feel like a troll for being the one to raise this--and
it's also causing heated discussion on the CentOS list, that's the
point. Maybe, if they realize how many people it annoys, they'll drop
it.
Perhaps. But it's a far cry from: "Here's a poll we did that asked X
and Y% of people said they didn't like it" vs "Die developer! I hate
you"
Anyway, while an 8 character lowercase letter number combo was
considered too weak, sizematters was considered sufficient.
I'm not sure I follow this?
I think, that like many other decisions disliked by the more
experienced, they're going to wind up doing it, and once again, a few
people will, when it goes into RHEL, be annoyed enough to leave, but
not enough to really affect their business--who wants to change the
O/S on 100, or even 5, servers?
Well, if we are still talking about anaconda initial password behavior,
it only affects people installing from the gui, not kickstart users.
Also, there's a way to customize it (for both), and also you can change
it to whatever you like after you install. I'm not sure this was
"disliked by the more experienced".
I think that closing the two bug reports immediately was somewhat
premature.

Or perhaps, why are we suddenly instituting this policy?
Please be carefull of your quoting. I didn't say those things. ;)
I believe that I used the analogy last time they tried, of the TSA.
It gives some appearance of security, does almost no good, and serves
to annoy the vast majority.
I don't see the similarity here, but ok.
Anyhow, I likely will stop replying to this thread unless theres
specific things I can answer. I have tons to do. ;)
