Default remote access off is perfectly fine, we don't need the mongo style security problems.

However the rest just seems to be a overbuilt mess. Why not start simple with barely and options and work up from there instead of trying to build in so many different configurations and features?

90% of use cases would be satisfied with a simple async replica on a different server started with any user that has read access to that database and a single command, along with the ability to become a standalone master anytime.

Redis (yes its a different database) has another nice and easy setup with a simple "slaveof" command.
