people who know what they're doing are trying to manage a system.
Use it if you like, but keep it the hell away from the systems I'm
responsible for.

There's
also the stupid new provision in the installer that you MUST
create a local non-root user to install the system.
Although this is offtopic for other reasons, it's probably been
about 10
years since I had a usable root account on any system I've installed.
These days you should be using sudo.
