Even more strongly than "recommended", but rather "you better have a darn
good reason and know every result of your change before you consider doing
this." :-) It's like "Unix root accounts SHOULD have a hard-to-guess
password."  It's possible to run UNIX with no root password, but you ought
to have a good reason.

And yes, there's an RFC defining what "SHOULD" and "MUST" and such mean. :-)
