Too bad Grub 1's grub-install script uses /dev/root by default and not
everyone has migrated to Grub 2,
also Quota's quotacheck command uses /dev/root on XFS file systems, also
'nilfs-utils' uses /dev/root,
also e2fsprogs e4defrag still uses /dev/root

If even e2fsprogs and quota would be fixed from those, I'd be
considering dropping it too
But, they are broken in every distribution
