Setting the name is just adding information into the line in the
/etc/passwd file, so I don't see why you couldn't also do it for root.
I just don't think it's too commonly done.

On both, we're setting up the non-root user for sudo access, yeah?  We
should probably mention that we're doing that, though you wouldn't want
to use the word "sudo".  Say something about how this user will be
authorized to perform system tasks, blah blah blah.

I need to spend some time thinking about these screens in the context of
kickstart installs to make sure that whatever we allow today is still
allowed after we make this change.
