Windows and DOS, HP/Compaq/DEC's VMS, and IBM's OS/2 and the MVS and VM
mainframe operating systems are normally not considered to be POSIX
OSes. Even if they do have POSIX subsystems bolted-on.

A measure of GnuPG's success is its porting to non-POSIX operating systems.

Then it would be a poor choice from a system administration viewpoint.

Only machine processes should send mail as 'root' and the alias is to
direct it to administrators.  It shouldn't be used as a general mail
address.

You are, of course, free to do as you please, but others will continue
to assume and conclude you are using the root account for general use
and will judge you based on that as Rob has already suggested.
