VE random root password [message #20597]

we are deploying several hundred VE's where VE end users will NOT get the VEs root password.
as an added protection, we thought about setting each VEs root password to a random string.

given the fact that admins can enter VEs by running:
vzctl enter VEID

is there any reason against setting each VEs root password to something random(that even we don't keep record of)?
