That seems to be made up. "ordinary users" are not reading mails send
to root or carefully reading /var/log/messages and to the extend any
user is wanting to go through logs, they will find the features of
integrated tools like journalctl much much more useful than raw grepping.
I don't buy into this argument at all. For one, there are graphical log utilities that a regular user would be a lot more comfortable and then root mail is mostly useless for a regular user. If you think a regular user is spending time reading mails from root or reading /var/log/messages, you got a definition of "normal user" that doesn't look anything close to realistic. Anyone who is interested enough in reading root mails in a Fedora box should be more than capable of installing an MTA.
