This makes sense for single-user machines, but the current default was
implemented because it was deemed safer on machines used by multiple

Then there is a need for better maintainer on the machine.
Also, limiting number of CPU cores is the most less efective restriction.
Timesharing works very well in any case; much more problematic is program
that eats memory or just runs heavy I/O.
