It should, IMO. * I assume that anyone building -current is actually going to _run_ * current, and since it requires root privileges to install, I don't * think it is a big ask to expect root for the build too. Um, that logic is flawed. The whole point of the build/install-world split was to make sure people can build a -current world without actually having to commit to run it. (Think NFS servers, etc.) Didn't someone submit a patch to fix this very problem? Bruce?
