[ale] Sometimes you just got to say ... wtf?!

[Jerald Sheets]

Never mind the various applications that can detect you’ve logged in as someone else and then have become root…..aaaaannnnnd refuse to install.

Oh, and root login is disabled anywhere but the console.  It exists, kids.  Sudo and su are normal, lack of a root login is quasi-normal, and tying root login to the system console is also normal.

All the systemd axe-grinding aside, yelling about su is a red herring.
