Let me clarify: we are talking about accounts which are interesting for hackers such as these of stewards.
I didn't want to compare stewards to hackers :-)

Also keep in mind we are talking about accounts which are interesting for hackers, stewards and such. I hope that people who are volunteering as stewards aren't just "stupid" and would eventually read manual / ask someone who knows how does it work, before changing options in insecure way. (Anyway if it was opt-in it would be either more secure or same insecure as it's now)

That sounds like as microsoft would interpret how perfect system should work, and why I don't like windows:
"We know best what the user wants, so let us configure the system according to what we think that is best for them, without even giving them option to change anything on that"
Seriously, don't make microsoft windows from mediawiki, please. We could as well make mediawiki do what it "thinks that user wants to do" rather than "what user really wants"

Bluntly? Users, for the most part, are stupid. Or rather, they make silly choices that can make systems more vulnerable without knowing better.
