Everyone on the "trash disk as root" thread seems to be looking at this as a security issue. It is possible to consider this as a usability issue as well. This may be naive, but is it possible for an administrator to attempt to set parameters incorrectly and trash the disk _without_ an intent to cause damage. I know that in my own salad (read green) days as an admin, I occasionally got slapped for putting my fingers in the wrong place - and this could be a major size slap :-)
