I'm sorry, but for me, "ZOMG OH NOES!11!11!" isn't good enough of a
reason to not utilize the root account via the GUI when its the
shortest path to accomplishing a goal.
Sure, except that it will cause breakage as it writes places as root
(because it can) when it was expected that the permissions of files
would prevent the files from being clobbered.
If you run as root in the GUI you're practically begging to run
`diskutil repairPermissions` after. And even that's not going to
resurrect overwritten files.
