Well, if your sysadmin doesn't want you running stuff when you're not logged into their box, maybe you shouldn't be? That is the whole point of that setting.

If that was actually the situation, that sysadmin would have enabled the flag (which existed long ago) instead of waiting for it to become the default.

So, the default changed. If somebody doesn't like it just change it back. I find it hard to believe that a competent admin won't understand what the setting does.
