David,

Could you please ask your pointy-haired bosses for a few thousand bucks 
to pay one of your programmers to throw some time at a rootless mode? 
Better yet, why don't you ask them if they would be willing to pay me to 
do it?  I'd love to do rootless mode, but I gotta have a way to get paid 
since it would take so much time away from my current jobs, etc.
