They turned off "PermitRootLogin yes" and "Protocol 1" in EL6 or EL7, the previous low-hanging fruit. Do you think those were bad decisions, too?
As far as I know, PermitRootLogin has not been set to "no" by default. At least, I've never seen that on a system I've installed. Am I missing something?
RHEL (and Fedora) unlike FreeBSD and a few other systems, has PermitRootLogin set to yes by default. On a minimal install, (I don't know about workstation) I've always found sshd to be enabled by default.
