I'd be prone to go for the last "hack", simply on the
grounds of "one less thing to keep track of".  Also, users
like twiki, mailman, vobadm, etc., are just roles for a
sysadmin, and aren't Real People (TM), so having their stuff
sorta rolled in with root's seems OK to me.

(The actually-clueful heartily encouraged to speak up!)
