Re: Many eyes off the ball.
No, not really. grub is a generic bootloader, you can use it to boot anything. And this doesn't exactly root anything, it bypasses a very specific form of protection - as discussed upthread, the grub password really only protects the grub configuration, and is only useful at all in extremely limited circumstances. Drive encryption and firmware-level passwords are much more generally useful for limiting access to a system.
