I fully agree to that. Security requirements may vary (and I know
"those" enterprise customers very well...), but secure-by-default
is the right way to go. Lowering security is easy, basically 
anybody can do it. Increasing it is hard for most people and that
is why it needs to be already there and why lowering it needs to
be an active configuration decision.
