Definitely not dumbing down, we're making things just work. Then you don't
need to stuff around with difficult to understand concepts in strange config
dialogues (that don't even let you do what you need to).

We have a "no listening ports" policy by default. If you need sshd, you have
the option of installing it, and know that you're turning it on by doing so.
You make a very explicit choice, which is a minor inconvenience to pay for a
secure system by default.
