Another reason *to* use sudo?

I agree with this comment.  As I understand the argument, the whole
point of this change from a traditional Unix/Linux way of administering
a system, is to keep "lazy" people from just staying in root all the
time (ie. they are protecting us from ourselves).  They admit that
there is no real increase in security.  



My main problem with this is that it is a break with the normal
Linux/unix way of doing things.  Instead of being a platform to help
people know the proper way of administering a system, by doing it on
their own. You are creating some kind of new variant, that is actually
harder to use. 



instead of just su to root, there were like 4 lines of ways to get the
variety of privaleges you might need.  I just don't see the point.  



I would like to say that so far this is the first time that I have
liked a GNOME interface, and I'm pretty happy with the system so far. 
Kudos to the development team.  the install went well, and hardware
detection went well.
