   I agree in the case of multiple users that have to sudo to root...but   
   I was referring to my machine at home, with only me as a possible   
   superuser.   
      
   If I boot to a recovery console, it needs my root password   
   anyway, so having that separate would almost seem to make   
   sense. ;)
