'disable all root access to the device'
This is very unfortunate, please dont restrict root access.

The reason why i like Ubuntu Touch, is that i can change and do
whatever i want (at my responsibility).
The more restrictions, the less interesting it gets.

Why does the urge to lock-down everything exist? Some ppl need/want
that level of control so taking this away is a huge step backwards.

greetings
