Exactly - so it is not a question of not letting people do this, it is a
question of *how* we approach it. If users want proprietary stuff
because they think that music=mp3, that's ignorant and destructive. Lets
give the user a *chance* to decide to learn.

If a user wanted to login as root all the time to avoid typing in
passwords, you'd want to talk them out of it right?
