Devil's advocate, is it really that bad for someone who is a parent to be able to easily zone of their Linux distro for their children? And yeah, I get there are a number of methods to do this like locking down accounts, but something like this would have the potential of automating whom the rules apply to.
That depends on the parent, doesn't it? A tool in the wrong hands does the devils work.

No it's a prefectly reasonable stance, but having wrong opinion or even thinking the wrong way is disallowed.
