is there really a use case for this? Does a "personal user manager" for
root provide any additional privilege separation or security? Any other
use case?
Also (for comparison) I *think* in systemd world a user instance is only
for uid > 1000 (with the assumption that uid<1000 are system users).

To summarize, I thought there was not a use case for "root personal user
manager" so I'm interested in reading a use case example of it.

Best Regards,
Lorenzo
