I agree with Ian on this.  I don't use toor either, but have seen people use
it, and sometimes it will get recommended here for various reasons e.g.
running a root account with a different default shell.  It wouldn't bother
me having to do this provided it was documented, but having to do so would
be a POLA violation to many users I think.
