I am not saying that there is bad intent, I said that there <i>is</i> more control this way, not what such control would be used for.
There is no additional control. Instead of having a simple GUI to do it you have to go down to the console, switch to root, and do it. I increasingly get the sense that users begging for it back are not regular users of Linux.
