This terrifies me now of every single install script that refuses to run if not root.

  With a bug like this, an install script without root permissions can still wipe out your $HOME when messing around in the dotfiles. Scary!

    That is why I keep a second home directory, /home/experimental for trying things out.

  I backup a couple of servers daily, why not the ol' home machine too?
