   I think this is acceptable as we shouldn't run as root.
   Running tests in containers might be something else, but even there one doesn't have to run as root, and probably shouldn't.
   Thanks for your understanding.

   I don't believe users care what you believe should and shouldn't be done.
   Moreover, you don't seem sure yourself.
   What is the disadvantage to allowing users to run tests as root? Given some systems run as root, this has obvious applications.
