Yes, I don't like it and always want a root password.  As you say, 
this is and has been contentious.  I personally am better having to 
use a different password in order to do admin tasks.  I am just too 
accident prone to use the same password for everything.  And if I am 
going to set up a separate administrator, that administrator might as 
well be root.

I am the only user on my box, which I think is relevant.  And my 
husband actively doesn't want to be able to mess up his system.  My 
granddaughter felt the same.  My husband has explicitly asked me not 
to tell him his root password.

Horses for courses?  "I may not agree with what you say, but I will 
fight to the death for your right to say it."
