I wouldn't be surprised if we find some cases where people have to adapt to this change, but I think it's the right one. Eventually we might even want to forbid root entirely for this target, but that may be a bridge too far.

I wouldn't be surprised if we find some cases where people have to adapt to this change, but I think it's the right one.

Yes - it just enforces what we always set in release/Makefile now, but indeed there may be downstream users of our build infrastructure that will need to adapt. I should send a note to appropriate mailing list(s) about unprivileged and reproducible builds and NO_ROOT.

Eventually we might even want to forbid root entirely for this target, but that may be a bridge too far.

We could at least emit a warning that running this target at root is not recommended.
