Since we all have to remove the dumb aliases for root on every install
how could we forget it? :)

The original question wasn't how to remove it so that might explain it
too. Eventually I expect it would get to that, but figuring out what
the file was, what it contained, how it got there, etc. seem to be
things I'd be interested in doing before I removed it.
