The root user is often the only user present on the system, let's trust OpenSSH to authenticate it properly, and open this up by default.

This mimics a similar patch in systemd.

I know this might be controversial, but frankly, if your root account has such a bad pw that it's trivial to guess, then maybe that's the problem, not the fact it is accessible via sshd...

(i have been running things with this since time began, I think it might makes sense to jus tdo this by default, this seems misplaced paranoia to me)

Not sure about this one... maybe it would be better as a credential for mkosi qemu?
