Comment:

 Hi Helen, The main point would simply be that it allows for people to make
 stupid decisions. If I think about the use cases for the option , its
 definitely in the 0.1 percent.

 I can think of people using it on an intranet and that is where it stops
 for me. I'm not sure if there are any other use cases where any one that
 registers needs full control of WordPress.

 If we can help newbies steer safe I think its a good decision. Decision
 over Options.
