The desktop case is where its weakest, and its generally whats talked about
for futher adoption. If you're buy an Appliance with linux installed on it,
its already dumbed down, its locked into whatever its doing.  Sure there's
plenty of people that like to try and run odd things on dedicated equipent,
been there done that, but that's often as much for the sake of doing so
rather than the thing in question doing much more than its original design
called for.  Of course there are exceptions there.. some are easier to
modify by design or accident and others are so locked down no modificiation
is possible without severe intervention.

You may not feel its a useful measure, others do, and like it or not, even if
its a low use case scenario, its still a valid measure.
