Eh, please give a way to turn this off (in particular, if you are intending
to go further down the road and eventually turn this into an error, I'm a hard
no on that though can live with putting something in /etc/src.conf).  Lots of
my test VMs and test machines I use only have root accounts because there
isn't a need for another user.  Yes, people should not build as root on their
laptop, but not all FreeBSD installs are laptops or desktops.
