It would be unfitting & intolerant to deny weak authentication when
we are ignorant of local environments.

We don't know people's local subnets, firewalls, VPNs, local user
community of colleagues & co-residents & family, & their skill
levels (both admins to configure, & users who might [or not] have
skills to sniff packets, & what devices with sniffer apps might or
not be able to connect to subnets.

In ignorance of user environments, we should not force others to strong
or none by removing weak..  Just offer suggestions & examples at install.

Cheers,
