I realize there there is no security concern on a fresh install.  but
having said that I think that with root's $HOME being 755 and root's
umask being 022 it could lead to problems.  What reasons are there not to
set more restrictive default permissions?

I'm not saying the current way is wrong.  I'm just wondering what others
think about this.
