I feel the same way here Miark. After years and years of being told not to do
anything as root, unless absolutely necessary, MDK has suddenly,
inexplicably, reversed course.
The question is, why? The info I'm getting is, that its a done deal. Also I
hear the other distros are not doing this (can someone verify this?). So it
comes back to, why MDK?
