  Calm down.  You obviously haven't investigated very thoroughly.  It's
not true that it NEVER asks you for the root password again.  Instead,
the root password remains good for a given number of minutes, THEN if you
start MCC again you have to login as root again.  This is in fact one
of the most bug-free releases I've seen, especially for an x.0 release.
You don't need to get hysterical.
