Hi.

Why is Debian not setup to be secure be default?

Not everyone is a security expert so imho the system should be fully
secured out-of-the-box.
So, do you have something worthwhile to say or is this just a case of
"the bull elephant trumpeting to the herd"?

https://alioth.debian.org/projects/d-sbd/

A couple of missing words inhibits the ability to really understand
what that project tried to do. Besides, it's 4.5yo and dormant.

If what you want is uber-security, there really is nothing to stop
you from running OpenBSD.
