No, but might be a member of the BYOD group, so let's ensure it's as hard as possible for everyone to shoot themselves in the foot, and we'll all still be better off, even if all the benefit we see is not being leaned on by a limper.

IMO Unintended consequences are problems, let's make sure the default case doesn't have any, and additional effort is required to point rifles at feet.

Personally and professionally I wouldn't run an extract as root, but for many it's only a 'sudo' away
