How loose are we with saying things like, "you should run this as root" 
in the docs?

I was triaging this nova bug [1] which is saying that the docs should 
tell you to run nova-status (which implies also nova-manage) as root, 
but isn't running admin-level CLIs implied that you need root, or 
something with access to those commands (sudo)?

I'm not sure how prescriptive we should be with stuff like this in the 
docs because if we did start saying this, I feel like we'd have to say 
it everywhere.
