The normal install process asks you to create a non-root user. And
people who know what they're talking about strongly recommend not
running a full desktop as root. Logging into a console as root is a
significantly different situation.

Plus of course you can still do it if you want. In fact kdm doesn't stop
you, just gdm.

Have you actually read the discussion about this (I mean on this list,
not upsteam)?
