Actually that's not such a bad idea. For the kind of user that Ubuntu
(and OSX) targets, disabling root (by default) and insisting on sudo is
_less_ likely to cause problems. After all some users are inclined to
do everything as root to prevent being asked for a password.

Fact is Ubuntu isn't really aimed at people like us.
