Both well-known password and no password are unsafe. User "root" with
password "root" is not even "more" safe already now, because tools that
brute-force logins try that. Choosing something else would be a bit
safer for a short while until the tools add it to their dictionary.
Poky is also targeting a different audience than OE-core. Poky can
assume to be used in a secure environment, OE-core can't (because it
might be used for all kinds of devices).
