> This makes me think maybe pip should gain a flag that disables root invocation altogether, e.g. `pip --no-root` would refuse to do anything instead of warn if the uid is 0. Yeah. Why not. As long as we can control it somehow. I do think rather than "policing" (and producing the warning) giving control to the users who are using `pip` as part of the pipeline is much better idea (but - as discussed for a long time, those power users of `pip` who have their own users should be able to control it. The funny thing in this case that users are so used to the `root` warning that it did absolutely nothing to prevent the user to make the mistake. The user saw the "do not use pip as root` as warning but happily ignored it, and it require a slack conversation and close looking at the Dockerfile of the user to help him. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
