Comment(by wad):

 That was one of those things that needed cleaning up.   While we are
 having confessions, the image built by xs-config and xs-pkgs is a mirror
 of a school server build which was built, duplicated and customized for
 early trials.  I was going to prune the xs-pkgs tree, but it was never
 more important than other tasks.  The password file (and sudoers, while
 you are at it) is another.

 These have been very convenient over the past eight months, but it is time
 to replace them with the discussed admin password scheme.

 In images built using the original F7 LiveCD and anaconda tools, the root
 password on the disk image was modified (after installing xs-config's
 version).  This behavior changed when I upgraded to the F7 update.
