This can silently hurt people (if bridges or offline mode are a requirement), so at first sight I’m not in favor of this. Still, it should be possible to start the session pressing Enter only (it’s already the case and should stay like this).

Agreed! ⇒ rejecting.

Absolutely. I’ve already conveyed this requirement do the new Greeter developer in the past, and I’ll assume it’s well tracked.
