Agreed.

Peter's question was "why?" -- not "is it a good idea?" LOL

Seriously, no one cited security as a "why" for this restriction. And in my 
particular case, no one checks the change I make to the PROC, just that I am 
making one, so in this particular case there would be no real impact on 
security. (This is NOT a production machine. No salaries, no AR, no AP, no 
Credit Cards.)

Yes, your life would be easier. And your system security would suffer.
