Is that a temporary setting, or does it stick over restarts?  Can a user
that logs in override it? What is that command? Before I say anything
about it I would love to see what is planned.  Are there any use cases
posted to a wiki somewhere?  I think we could have a much more
productive conversation about where Fedora is going if we all had a
little more information.  We are a community driven distribution right?
