Look at this discussion, that shouldn't have been a discussion to begin with. "A desktop user should be able to do desktoply things." He can touch the hardware, so, from a technical point of view, what kind of security is there, anyway?

But that wasn't the discussion, at least not its start.
Not sure what you refer to. That a desktop user should be able to do desktoply things _was_ the start of the discussion. If someone has physical access to a machine, it's rather hard to lock him out of the system.
As Marcus wrote, this is actually often not even a policy problem, but the user interfaces didn't change fast enough to support newer low-level service facilities,
I was never attacking Marcus. But, as nicely as you described the problem and how everyone blames someone else, do you really think the desktop user cares as long as the problem exists? So, the focus should be how to enable a status that the user rightly expects, rather than to argue why it is as broken as it appears to him.
