I have been asked about the rationale behind restricting direct root logins
via SSH.  (There is a sshd configuration option on this.)  Is there a
document that lists the reason why this exists?

In absence of that, if folks want to contribute technical reasons why one
should restrict root logins, I would appreaciate input.  Since this might
be a topic in which feelings run deep, off-list is probably better and I'll
summarize.
