In my opinion password protecting GRUB by default will cause headaches for a number of people, but it won't really make the system any more secure since physical access is gained by that point (thus allowing live media, removing the hard drive, etc.).
The only extra security measure I think is worth debating is full disk encryption. Such a thing would obviously be a nightmare for tech support, but since there are real security benefits I think it is worth considering and at least looking into. To me there is very little to be gained by password protecting GRUB though, so I'm against.
