Very much against that,

it would make the user think he/she is allowed to do that. If you  
want to change something as root (which should be seldom enough if  
you do things right) you should "feel" that you do something that is  
affecting your whole system.

Also multi user setups wouldn't imho profit from this. everyone would  
think he/she is allowed to do it where just the opposit is true...
