Which is really the crux of this - as a community (I use this word
because everyoneelse is, but I'm not sure which community it is) the
idea that we decide what openSUSE is supposed to be - e.g. the default
settings for a vanilla install. Wrt this sshd change, it appears that
_someone_ made a decision, _apparently_ on behalf of the "community".

I think this particular change is moving openSUSE away from a sensible
default, I think the reasoning for it is wrong and full of holes, and
that is my opinion as a community/project member.

Let's give a normal user a machine that works, but let's keep all the
options available for the not-so-regular users.

_Exactly_ what I have been saying.
