It is irregular to enable ssh at install time without the user
configuring it.  Someone may want to do that, and they can patch their
build.  But it's a security bug to have it on by default.

Another view is that machines should have a working  console, and
dealing with issues due to not having one is a workaround, not the main
path.


Hmmmm .... I agree on the security implications in general, but this is a tiny SoC box, maybe an exception here for convenience ? another $0.02 ....
