I think it'd be great if this behavior could be implemented

should think about how hard it is to do "I want the default
behavior plus allow joe to connect as charlie". If the
default is a one-liner that you can copy and add to,
that's a lot better than if you have to reverse-engineer
what to write.
This direction certainly sounds more appealing to me.
Any thoughts on the discussion between Stephen and Tom?
It appears that the whole discussion of what a new default security
configuration could or should be hasn't really moved to a new consensus,
so given the time, I think it's best that we leave things as they are
and continue the exploration at some future time.
Sounds good. I've marked the patch RwF.
