That sounds like old school sysadmin conservatism. I don't think there
is any technical basis for such advice. I'm not suggesting that the
default be changed, since consistency is also a desirable thing (I get
irked when I log into a box as root and suddently find that I'm in
bash). But I doubt it hurts anything to changes root's shell these days.
As to the status of toor, I say remove it. Anyone that wants to keep it
can skip that mergemaster step.
