Do we support enabling the root account?

[Connor Imes]

There was an update today to the RootSudo page [1] on the Community Docs 
that added info on enabling the root account.  I believe this 
circumvents Ubuntu's security model.

I know on the forums we don't support enabling the root account for 
login, and apparently this isn't allowed on IRC in #ubuntu either.  
Granted, the information is available out there on the internet for 
those who want to find it, but should be allowing this information on 
our docs?  I don't believe so.  Just because information is available 
somewhere, and something is possible, does not mean that we provide it.

I think the info should be removed, there is already an explanation at 
the top of the page as to why we use sudo and not root.  We can 
certainly expand on this as needed.  If we take this approach, a more 
official note should be added to the page telling users not to add info 
on enabling the root account, and sign it as left by the Documentation 
Team as official direction.  This page may need a bit of an overhaul, 
which I would be happy to do with the team's approval.

Comments?
