As it stands, Ubuntu supports deprecated-and-insecure PPTP connections out of the box even though most other major OS vendors have actually removed support for such connections entirely.

Why is this still supported -- and, in fact, offered as the only option by default? This will surely tempt some users into using it.

If network-manager-strongswan and strongswan are needed for secure connections, then they should be included in the default install (and PPTP support should NOT be!)
