Some distros do that.  And it is possible to set up Fedora that way as
well - it stops a graphical "login", but it doesn't stop a textual login
from starting X after the login.

One reason why distros don't do that is the number of users insisting
that they should be able to.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
