So long as they have no problem with their warranty and support contracts
being invalidated, users can do what they like with the boxes.  They are,
after all, essentially a FreeBSD box.

So long as any such feature requires explicit configuration, I have no
objection.  As I said, give people enough rope...  However, I think it would
be a significant degradation of the behaviour of Juniper routers if this
were to become a default behaviour (i.e. accounts created with no
authentication entries allowed login without some explicit command to allow
it).
