We plan on actually moving it to /root.  The ARC case was approved 
several years ago.

The only reason it never got done was because doing so broke some 
internal to Sun test suites (long before opensolaris) that made 
assumptions about the location of root's home directory.  I didn't have 
the time to go and fix those test suites at the time.
