No its not. Its like warning for the danger that the thief driving away with your brand new car now has the keys to all your friends cars.
If you're hashing user passwords, its likely those users use the same passwords elsewhere. And if your database happens to have their emails (like most do), an attacker has a great place to start trying those passwords.
Maybe I'm alone in thinking that the duties of policing are intended to be difficult.
Why do we need to legislate away liberties to save a few man hours on some cases?
If you take the argument to the Orwellian absurdity, you can have children police citizens when we cater to lazy work ethics.
The best solution is going to based on the average ambient temperature of your location.
If you're in a hot environment, why contain the cold if you need additional A/C in the datacenter for employees? Reduce costs by using the same equipment to cool both.
If you're in a cold region, then let the heat also warm the datacenter.
If you're in an ideal temperature environment, then you don't have much to worry about beside good air flow.
If the server has multiple admins, then running a shell as root would make accountability for changes on that server much more difficult to surmise than using su or sudo which logs privilege escalation.
On your own private server, the only real benefit is to protect your system from yourself when you don't particularly need root access.
If the domain name you choose is so easy to typo that you registered it incorrectly, wouldn't it make sense to redirect the mistyped domain to the real one? I'd think your potential user base might make the same mistake.
I had a registrar confirm my identity by asking me to answer the secret question I setup.
The question I made up was was "What is the fucking point of this security question bullshit?"
Unfortunately I couldn't answer the question because I was laughing so hard hearing him read it with a thick Indian accent.
So in theory then, at any given moment, an entire universe can erupt into existence? Is the void between the electron orbits of the oxygen atoms in front of me capable of producing this Big Bang?
damn, as if global warming warmongering wasn't enough stress...

Clearly this bill is meant to stop Skynet.
No, its more like shutting down a shopping mall because of organized crime running in some of the stores.

Lets save the excitement for when he gives his computer AIDS.

RAID is not a backup. Get a backup solution or you'll realize you can be even more frustrated.
