Well, we have postfix which asks questions on installation, so adding
questions to mysql shouldn't be a big problem.
But, we should avoid that always, if we can. I think we can with mysql -
don't start it if password is not set.
For example, init script, start function:
if [ -e /etc/mysql/dont_start ]; then
echo "Set MySQL root password or delete /etc/mysql/dont_start"
exit 1
fi
Then provide easy to use tool to change password.
This gives an option of securing mysql or using it without password.
