for bitcoin miners, really, you dont need root.

as for the open source part mentioned by @juiceme - i agree with juiceme. Without sources its damn difficult to figure out watch going on. Sure, ordinairy users dont care probably. But having the sources is way more easy auditing. Its old-school, but damn right necessary.
