It's true that you could potentially blow yourself up by messing with it, but I don't really think that fits. The current red icon for root was never appropriate in the first place IMHO. Either Icon Blue or just the regular Icon Grey color seem more appropriate to me.
I understand what you're saying, but throughout the Breeze theme, red is also used for root. If we used grey it would probably still be fine, but blue would stick out.

I do agree that the forward slash isn't a great symbol for root for non-technical users, but it's very difficult to fit anything even slightly complex onto the 16 px icons without it becoming difficult to read. The Plasma logo works fine for 64px, but it's not very good at the smaller sizes.
This is my best attempt at getting the plasma logo to fit on the 16px icon:
