in reply to When not to use taint mode

I always use taint mode when running with elevated privileges (or in a script which is expected to be so run). Similarly I always use taint mode in anything which is public-facing because sooner or later a kiddie will try to root it.

Since those criteria account for maybe 80% of the work that I do, I am one of the very few who voted "More often than not" in that poll. YMMV, of course.
