  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>What is the paradigm behind having one founder and one services root? one
  35 </I>             ^^^^^^^^
  36      If you mean &quot;reason&quot;, it's just simplicity.  Founders and roots are
  37 both special cases, and special cases take special handling, which makes
  38 the program more complex.  In both cases, other users can gain those
  39 privileges using passwords (CS IDENTIFY or OS SU), so I don't see any real
  40 need for the extra handling which would be needed to allow multiple such
  41 users (and it would hurt maintainability [is that the right word?] too).

  43 &gt;<i>founder sounds complicated but more than one SRA sounds like an easy
  44 </I>&gt;<i>thing.
