I don't think he's kicking the can down the road, at least not all the way to end users. I think he is implying that it's something distros should do, presumably after installing as part of their post-install config. Either way is going to break things and I'm sure there'd be people lining up to complain about them making it ro by default or adding some sort of safety layer in. Might as well leave it as it is and let the various distros do what they want with it. I do think though that someone should do something and this sort of thing shouldn't be possible, but I can understand the stance of leaving it up to the distros to decide as a reasonable compromise.
