I think that this is really the bigger question... not if one has root, 
but the abilities of those who do have root access, and those who 
don't. Being of the anti-root persuasion, I don't think that anybody 
*should* have root, unless they're physically at console (yes, you 
*can* do just about anything but add hardware without root).

Of course, if one doesn't have the ability to reasonably do their job 
without having root access, that's a problem, but almost all sysad, 
programming, dba, (etc. etc.) tasks simply don't require it. sudo will 
suffice for the very rare tool/program that is needed (in most cases).
