I'm not seeing why 10 is so significantly worse than 3... How big of a difference is that, really? I believe it took something like 6 failed attempts for my bank to lock me out.
But why change the default? Is this in the top 10 things you would do after installing your distro of choice?
To me, this indicates a lack of judgement around what should be prioritised, which is reflected across the many issues the post raises. Naturally judgement is an acquired skill, which novices lack (and which they gain through experience and guidance), but given the big names associated with the project, that doesn't reflect well on their other projects.
