You mean in the other report?

If yes, I didn't see compelling reasoning and even single "good idea" (rather
"well, pity, ok" agreement). To keep comment short -- adding it as hidden
preset (not present in the menu by default) would save time for all users by
one decision, and on the other hand will get this item from the menu, if you
dislike it so much.

And about discouraging people from using it -- you don't know the workflow.
Using it instead of sudo is already more tiresome, but running sudo in a
sequence for several commands is less comfortable than root shell. So, as
usual, don't judge what users should do in order to get _their_ job done.

And there is also one advantage of the root shell for now -- easy visual
difference between root shell and regular shell. Not the case for sudo.
