Raaspberry Pi doing away with the 'pi' user account

[JoeF]

Due to security considerations, Raspberry Pi is removing the default 'pi' account. I probably cannot post links but it is in the News part of the Raspberry Pi site. For headless setups, the Pi imager tool prompts for a user account and password. There is another way to create a user without the imager.

Guess it is a good thing I recently rebuilt my Pi and updated all the decoders, feeders and graph utilities. Guess it isn't too big of a deal.

It is being removed as a dafault (due to various rules about default usernames and passwords coming for some locations). It however does not stop you making the username pi.
