I'm definitely in favor of the user account changes. The current setup is confusing for non-experienced users, especially because administrator isn't checked by default. This leads to situations where only a root account is created, and if you log in to Workstation in X or (especially) Wayland as root, many things don't work in non-obvious ways. Like, the GNOME user account panel.
I don't think this is possible. If you only create a root password in anaconda, this is noticed at first boot, and g-i-s runs in its pre-GDM mode and forces you to create a user account before you reach GDM.
There's an unfortunate conflict between wanting a disabled root user by default; and the ensuing difficulty troubleshooting boot problems because systemd demands only root can login when hitting emergency target. An account in wheel is not an option.
