My understanding was that this was removed because collecting the root password
during a user session is insecure because there could be a sniffer or the dialog
could be faked.

If I understand you correctly you are saying that even if this weakness were
addressed (e.g. through whatever means make fast user switching secure) that
the feature would not be re-introduced.  Am I misunderstanding?

If I am not misunderstand, can you point me to the real reason that this feature
was removed?

Thanks!
