Which is completely wrong since the root account /already is/ enabled
in OS X Server.
Using root isn't the issue. I, being an old time curmudgeon from the
pre-sudo days who tends not to do silly things like `rm -R /` (at
least not w/o knowing how to roll back my occassional stupidity) I
normally `ssh root@host` to perform tasks... but that's from a shell,
not the GUI.
And sudo is no panacea, as `sudo rm -R /` is just as bad there as w/o
having to type the sudo, so sudo really offers no protection at all.
Logging into the GUI as root is going to cause the same sorts of
problems it does from a machine running some X11 desktop GUI, it's
going to stomp on things unexpectedly.
