I think it's a bad idea, and assumes that the 'default' installation is
a box that's running 24/7 connected directly to the internet.

I only have one box that is 'vulnerable' to the internet, and it's my
firewall.  All the other boxes are inside the firewall, and can (and do)
run the other daemons since they are most useful, *especially* for
configuring the box.
