First of all, I dont know about you, but on my WEb Servers more than one
person is doing work. Each group has their own work dir. You can do every
day maintenance totally as non root. Only restarting and modyfying the
config is done by root, but actually it does not need to be.
The least priveledge principle is especially important for internet servers.
It is all about hardening.
