So, when our product is installed, a user is presented with a confusing, and highly technical question, the gist of which is: please give us your root password so we can do something you don't understand. It's okay, trust us, really... Further, I would argue that if you accept that unhide is a reasonable default for me to force into the fstab, then it is a reasonable default for the kernel to have.
