-1 to the barrier.  Deployers (of zyx-liveinstaller) can add such a
barrier if they want, or you can if you prefer.  As you point out,
there's a Sugar design precedent - though that's when things were just
running on an XO - and I hasten to add there's been a Windows design
precedent (of running with Administrator privileges) for ages.
