It's generally considered a bad idea to do anything as root unless it's
absolutely necessary. I suppose it's one of those rules that's meant to
be broken if you know what you're doing, but it's kind of a slippery
slope; it's likely that sooner or later you'll do something that you'd
regret less if you hadn't done it as root :).
