Granted, if you have an actual root password set the line will be a conflict, but it's not strictly true to say that existing installs wouldn't be affected. >> Maybe give users the option at install time instead. > > Doable, unsure it is worth it but yes we can do that if that is asked a lot I think we should avoid the tendency to add new questions to the install if we can avoid it. I often see this mentioned for potential POLA-type changes and I think there are two issues: 1) it doesn't address upgrades, and 2) we should keep a streamlined install process as much as possible IMO. If we start piling up a bunch of extra questions during the install it will just make users' eyes glaze over. -- John Baldwin
