in reply to CPAN on El Capitan

El Capitan took a lot of cues from "selinux" and other "hardened" OSes. Root is not all-powerful, nor is it readily accessible, there either. I never cared for an all-powerful root user anyway.

    Yeah, sure, I am not using the root user often, but I don't want my OS designers to decide everything for me if it is MY system. I am really pis*sed off with operating systems that try to decide everything for me.

    I hate Windows for that, but I can still live with it, because it is not completely blocked, but it seems that OS X is just worse on that account. That's just reminds me how I regretted having once bought an i-phone. Sorry, but never that prison again (not to speak about the probable programmed obsolescence design that killed by iphone-2 just four months after the end of the warranty period, but that's another question).
