Yes, but then, I *know* I will do something harmful by using a different
editor than the one I'm used to when occasionnaly editing as root, hence
my relentless destruction of any other editor than emacs on systems I
install, even before the first boot.
No, the only real risk with emacs, is that it's so agreable to use, that
you may forgot you're logged as root. For this, I have:
(when (= (user-uid) 0)
(set-background-color "black")
(set-foreground-color "red"))
in my .emacs files…
