There's 5%-10% disk space reserved for root administration and emergencies,
I wonder why this is not the case for memory and CPU cycles.

Anyway, with a good operating system not even "setuid root" processes should
be able to take down the system. The user interface should run at the
highest priority (or semi-highest, with the administration interface on
top). The computer is there to serve us, after all. It should never be to
busy to listen to me. It should always listen to me and only when I am
silent do its happy tasks.

So, I'd say we enable it by default, but only on decent operating systems,
currently none.
