Thats a policy they have. They opt for the notion that users are
stupid enough not to be trusted with a root password. All the admin
tools use sudo, gksu or gksudo. The only way to drop to root is use
runlevel 1 or activate the root account using `sudo passwd'.

Fedora on the other hand encourages the use of potentially powerful
admin tools. We use polkit instead to keep track of the permissions.
It is a contrasting philosophy which makes me love Fedora over Ubuntu.
As far as I understand the feeling is the same for most of us on this
list.

In conclusion, Ubuntu is different enough for us to love Fedora over it.
