Multiple Root ID's considered evil?

Today, everyone is very concerned about security measures to there
machine.  It seems to me that "root" is used for system maintience
more than anything else.  I agree that the root password must be
protected, but multiple uid 0 restricted logins are very helpful and
secure.

It is easy to write a small C program that calls specific commands under
specific conditions.  Make the executable the initial shell in the /etc/passwd 
file. Bingo, a protected controlled 0 uid process.  This does assume that
there are no backdoors or calls like "exec /bin/csh" in the code.  These 
shells become a definate advantage to control privilaged operations.
