You're questioning the usefulness of root logging in from the console?

If I go to a users machine that has hosed up b/c something went stupid
with a network driver, I'd like to be able to login. drop the device,
bring it back up and not have to reboot the machine.

I was arguing against what I _thought_ I read, which was getting rid of
ALL root logins. Including tty.
