Changes in described components (Step 1 - Step 4) are necessary to
implement in order to make sure that user accounts and tools works
correctly when authentication with empty password is disabled by
system administrator. Changing system default to disallow
authentication with empty passwords (Step 5) improves system
hardening.
Steps 1 - 4 are not benefits, they are workarounds to critical system
utilities required by this change. I don't understand why this change
is necessary at all. It only affects local logins and if someone wants
to have an empty password, why make it so difficult? It's their choice.
It's not like Fedora has any default logins with empty passwords, the
user has to make their own.
