The difference being that anybody can accidentally do a rm -rf on the part after the file - anybody who can work with the repo.

When you have a machine to place thefile:// to, you also have something to run a server on.
If the machine you place the file:// is the same where you can accidentallly do a rm -rf, accessing the file:// through a server won't help you with that problem.
Additionally, to those security-concious people, installing servers on your workstation just to access local repositories isn't exactly on the top of best practices. Don't you agree?
And I hate to repeat myself, but I'll repeat for the third time this question: if file:// is not intended to be used, then what are the available options for those who need a version control system and can't set up a server?
