- `drop` will create transient users that are deleted once the session ends.
- `insecure-drop` is the same as `drop` except it does not create a home directory for the user.

I think we should add a sentence to the drop and insecure-drop descriptions to indicate why you would want to use either option.

With insecure-drop, the naming suggests that there are some tradeoffs between security and convenience at work, but I don't know if we can count on the user being able to discern these from the current descriptions (Maybe it's my particular background, but I know I can't).
