We talked a lot about this in the early design days. If I recall
right we decided to allow the write, given permission, because
sometimes you really do want to update a binary and it's annoying when
you can't: build scripts fail, installs abort, that sort of thing.
There are times when we install everything and it's nice not to
worry about it. Although it's far from perfect, I'm comfortable
enough with the safeinstall notion to leave things as they are.
I realize that's not much of an argument.
