No, I'd consider that a rather sane decision. Back when my distribution

Sue, but how long ago was that? The way to properly host people now is
with virtualization. They have their 'own' machine and what they muck up
can only much up THEIR "machine".
That's fine for you and me, but not everyone wants to be (or has the
skills or time to be) a system administrator, and I doubt most hosting
companies would be able to provide administered single-user VMs at a
reasonable price point. With a shared VM the administration costs are
shared across many customers.
I was going to suggest moving to a VM, but I didn't know whether ktn felt
that was an option. I suppose it's reasonable to ask: ktn, would you be
willing to move to a self-administered hosted VM in order to get full
control of SA?

If "healthcare is a Right" means that the government is obligated
to provide the people with hospitals, physicians, treatments and
medications at low or no cost, then the right to free speech means
the government is obligated to provide the people with printing
presses and public address systems, the right to freedom of
religion means the government is obligated to build churches for the
people, and the right to keep and bear arms means the government is
obligated to provide the people with guns, all at low or no cost.
