As Drew said, it might disturb users. It wouldn't be necessary, if the
default check wouldn't be `file-exsists-p', which provokes the password
request. Something like

(or (file-remote-p fn) (file-exists-p fn))

should be better (again, I don't know where to change).

Or we spend a customer option for this, which will be the bound value
of `non-essential' in `read-file-name-default'.
