Seriously though, how is that any different than elevating to root privileges with 'sudo' to install? You still don't need the root password, so I suppose it's just saving my mom a step before she borks her system.
sudo at least prompts for the user's password by default (which worms won't have). also, to use sudo, you must be configured in the sudoers file to run said command.
