Which is useless unless someone sets a password for it, or installs
a port like sudo that lets you to switch to it... For me, I always
change root's shell to /bin/sh, so I could care less about toor...
and since less is usually better, my vote is to drop it.. It's easy
enough to add it back..
Time marches on..
