If I'm root, I should be able to shoot myself in the foot if I want to. I understand the denial of service aspects for non-root users shooting each other in the foot, and the daemon aspects as regards daemons that malfunction. But root has a moral obligation to let me aim at my foot. So I'd still like to know the function of establishing a limit on rc itself...
