</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> No, it is not a subjective setting. Because this default setting is
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> not caused by technical reasons nor is it set because of somebody's
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> individual opinion. It is set simply for convenience reasons. We (at
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Mandrivauser de and other places) have been constantly recommending in
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> the forums to change this setting and most of the users who are
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> interested in security do it because they understand the reasoning
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> behind it.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Fine. That's the point of adapting a *default* setting to your own needs,
</I>&gt;<i> instead of arguing it should be preset for everyone else in the world to
</I>&gt;<i> match it.
</I>
No, the point here is not whether I adapt to anything, it is the
question if it is possible in this environment to discuss a long time
standing setting for which nobody seem to have a valid reason - only
that it should not be changed while good reasons are given. Seems not
to be possible.

You're right, no further discussion needed.
