I suppose I should be more clear about why I think single user networked
should be a reserved space.
There are some Linux projects that run like this, for example, the Linux
Router Project. It boots, it starts right into a root shell, single
user. And it requires networking. They are very security concious (so,
although it's not for everyone, some people are working like this, and
know what they are doing).
Just so you know... I didn't just make up the idea, some people have
need for it.
