Death to toor

from a user point of view, I use toor on all machines, basically for
two reasons :

 - I don't feel confident to change default root shell (might
   be wrong but I have had way too many problems "solved" by setting
   SHELL and/or CONFIG_SHELL to yet another one); things are tested with the
   default shell, OK, I use it when running in problems

 - quite a lot of my customors "need/want" root access (including the
   possibility to change it's passwd); keeping a toor account with a well
   kept secret by me passwd saves me a lot of trouble (a part from
   systems needing root passwd for catastrophic single user boot)

PS, as a side-node I prefer /bin/bash as well since it gave me less
headaches on multiple-architecture sites than trying to understand
all subtle differences between their different default root shells

PS-II, I can add toor by hand anytime; I'm no lawyer nor advocate of
whatsoever; providing a "fake" toor account without standard /bin/bash
in fact is reasonable to me
