 Something we talked about at the Seattle meeting is the possibility of
 having only 3 allowed security slider states: Low, Medium and High. We
 would migrate users at Medium-Low to Medium-High and rename the latter to
 Medium. It seems such a change would improve usability and security. Also
 I think the current Medium-High is probably the best compromise for most
 users who are sophisticated enough to adjust the security slider.

 Discuss! :)
