I use it every now and then to get pam_mount running, because then I need to 
login as root, which is something I do not want to do via gdm. Also I need it 
if the GUI does not start, which happens every now and then. This also 
happens if I help some other Linux user. Then changing lots of the system 
only to be able to debug the system decreases my motivation a lot. This is 
also true for testing new Fedora releases, e.g. via a LiveCD. If I always 
have to create my own LiveCD to test something, my motivation also goes away 
pretty fast.
