Comment (by yurivict271):

 No, it isn't "encouraging" root, it "allows" root, because he is already
 allowed to do anything he wants by the system. By design there is no
 protection against root actions.

 Root can already do it, the question is if tor allows root to do it the
 nice way, or root will have to keep writing files.
