Hi!

as far as i remember , the switch was NOT announced to this list. (it was just 
discussed in irc channel)
also there is/was no mention on the wiki of that change.

and having and empty password for a development device is not bad, dont predent 
this thing is selling in the stores.
also if you dont have WLAN and bloetooth on, nobody can enter even with empty 
password.
and wlan is mostly broken anyway.

        Z.
