Good arguments, although it's not always easy to find if something on
Ubuntu wiki can be done without using non-free software.

You can use "sudo passwd" to have a "real" root account on Trisquel.  I
prefer using sudo, since then I don't have completely separate contexts
for user commands and shell line editing works (although not
world-listable directories and output redirections aren't friendly for
such use).
