LOL. I cannot believe that the point was that because new users would be 
created with their own uid and gid and their home directory ownership 
set to the same makes a system more sloppy security wise.

Other than this facilitating the future use/need for usera to allow only 
select users to access some of usera's files, it makes no difference to 
the 'security sloppiness' of the system.
