A certain Ceri pointed out to me that init assumes the name 'root' and I
believe this program to be sufficiently important to give in to it.
I have to add that in the few days I used the other name I had no
noticable problems (after editing a few config files), but I had no
reason to boot single-user for example, so it is not entirely
representative.
With kind regards, Rogier Steehouder
