It does not hurt anything but Wine's reputation. I don't know, but the phrase "I would rather be run over rather than run down" does apply here. In other words, we should be getting positive responses to user experiences, rather than dealing with newbies having to delete their .wine directories because they ran Wine as root without setting to the root environment.
Again, please demonstrate the exact sequence that leads to an actual problem, not just vague hearsay of people reporting problems that may or may not have anything to do with this.
I'm all for being more friendly to newbies, and that's precisely why I want to solve the actual problem (if there is one), not just print a warning and then tell them "it's your fault for not heeding the warning". We all know that people ignore warnings, so it doesn't add any user-friendliness at all, just the opposite.
