- bawolff 5y agoThere's pros and cons. There's lots of evidence that people make bad choices when allowed to configure crypto, and there has generally been a movement towards having more opaque interfaces where users have less rope to hang themselves. People who don't have the ability to deploy updates will also be screwed when normal security issues happen, so i dont find that super compelling. Additionally there are some privacy implications about letting users configure. Otoh, personally i like the ability to config things if i really have to, and such a policy might lead to people running custom forks which is bad.
