So I have to confirm the observations from Jiri Jansky

still sick. And SAK from now I consider not only the futility but
complete stupidity. :)
For home users, it is complete stupidity IMO. How many people have friends or relatives
who are going to hack the login screen, anyway?
For businesses, schools, etc. that will have a lot of people logging in, I can certainly
understand having it enabled, provided it works right. Even then, if the
business/school/etc. sets up their read/write permissions correctly and are as careful as
possible who they provide root access to, they shouldn't have to worry. Besides, if
they give root access to someone who's untrustworthy, that would invalidate any reason
for having SAK enabled.
