Even if someone is at "power user" level, that does not at all mean that
they are in fact immune from stuffing up. If add-ons from common, were
always able to be loaded while booting haiku, carelessness from a
"superuser" could make Haiku unbootable !
I think, add-ons installed by both users(boot/home/config/add-ons)
and those with "poweruser"(boot/common/add-ons) privileges, should
be able to be disabled while booting. Only "root" [or should I say baron]
(boot/beos/system/add-ons/) should be loaded in in bootmenu's "don't
load user add-ons" safe mode.

I think it would be funny if a user was a serf, poweruser was baron
and root was Viscount.
