After reading this thread and many others, I have to ask the following.

Given that:
1) Extras will be enabled by default in the first firmware update,
2) Warning everyone away from extras-testing and extras-devel,
3) The amount of effort the community is putting into protecting end users from potentially harming their device,

Should rootsh be removed from extras and pushed back to testing or devel?

Gaining root certainly has plenty of potential to brick or cripple a device easily, particularly in the hands of an end-user, and as many people have mentioned here, end-users shouldn't need root access anyway.

If it is located in Extras, and Extras is heavily promoted as the "safe" programs an end-user may mistake it a being a safe program to install. At least if it is located in testing or devel, the user should have a good idea that it is a potentially harmful program to install.

*EDIT* If a moderator feels this should be a separate thread, please move it.
