Hi Steve,
I don't disagree that there's an element of risk as noted in the SRU 
description and that this is definitely changing the existing behaviour.
But my opinion is that the impacted set of users are going to be few if at all:
 - those that create homedirs using pam *and*
 - those that rely on *other* users' HOME having 0755 (as opposed to 0750)
For those that end up needing 0755 can manually change the permissions as a 
workaround.

However, if you think the risk outweigh any benefits, please reject the
SRU and I'll communicate back to the user who requested this change.
