With my "Usability & Productivity" hat on, I must point out that this is what
can happen when we annoy the users "for their own good" in a free system. They
can always just get the mostly-less-annoying-but-theotetically-dangerous
behavior back again. We can say, "well, not my responsibility then" but in that
case we're still failing at our ultimate goal of protecting these users from
broken systems post-upgrade.

The same thing happened when we prohibited running Dolphin with sudo: people
who wanted to do it got annoyed and just used Thunar or Nemo instead, easily
bypassing our desire to protect them, and driving them away from our software.
:(
