more secure defaults

Is anyone looking at changing the defaults on a lot of the services to make
them more secure from first install? For example, ssh defaults to allowing
root login. Another example is vsftpd allows anonymous ftp by default. It
would seem that if we had a more secure set of defaults to begin with, then
we'd be setting people up for success more than failure.
