That seems like a reasonable compromise to me.

I do *not* wish to allow people to override the safety check.  We
periodically get complaints from Unix users that they don't see why
they shouldn't be allowed to start the server as root; we have not
been swayed by those arguments and I do not propose to be swayed
by the Windows variant.  Unsafe is unsafe.
