 because something may go wrong with the login manager.  filesystem
corruption could result, meaning that the login manager completely
fails and will not permit a login of any kind (i have actually
genuinely had this happen: it turned out to be that /home was not
writeable), and you would otherwise need to take the drastic action of
rebooting into "init 1" to recover...

 BUT...

 let's assume that there are mission-critical files still being served
up from the machine: other users (over a network) are connected to
something on the machine (its printers, whatever doesn't matter) so
you CAN'T just reboot it...

 i would expect under these circumstances to just be able to press
"Ctrl-Alt-F1" and to log in at a text console as root.

 if that's *not possible* then it's a severe bug.
