Fundamental to me is Robby's "necessary to install packages". One day we may wish to offer sandboxing for the installation of packages.

BUT, as a small addendum, I think the idea of sandboxing is so fundamental, I'd rather see the idea (not necessarily the current implementation) become a part of the core.
