It seems to me that the issue to be concerned about is the effect of  
changes to the root zone, and what happens to these slaves with  
respect to the changes.

People with clue can already slave off the root zone if they want  
(and some do).

Do "we" have to be concerned about keeping "the rest" from hurting  
themselves?
