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

should work, and why I don't like windows:
"We know best what the user wants, so let us configure the system

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"
