thats pretty ugly because of all the .dot files you will accumulate in /,
like .bash_history, .xauthentication and even some temp files. Sure most
apps can be modified to not do that (ans most should not be used as root
anyway), but this was and still is a pretty valid reason for /root. Even if
the name is pretty dumb.
