Do you plan to remove "pop" too? I see no reason to let "pop" stay while
"www" removed. They must stay both or removed both. Adding "www" was exact 
in adding "pop" existen style.

As you say "it's not like any competent sysadmin is incapable of editing 
the password file". No any changes possible without screwing
somebody.

It is not true in general. I say that nobody shouldn't own any files, not 
user the server runs. Owning files is allowed and documented Apache 
behaviour.
