    Hmmmm...
    ... isn't hiding your root password security through obscurity ?
    ... isn't hiding your private PGP key security through obscurity ?
    ... isn't 90% of security based on these kinds of obscurity ?

    FYI: Obscurity, according to the dictionary:
    1. Deficiency or absence of light; darkness. (...I'm assuming nobody is
    talking about this one)
    2a. The quality or condition of being unknown
    2b. One that is unknown
    3a. The quality or condition of being imperfectly known or difficult to
    understand
    3b. An instance of being imperfectly known or difficult to understand.

    Just my €0.02...
