This should be a user-level option, IMHO. Personally, I don't believe in
undelete :) and would never expect (or want) a kernel revision to implement
support for it. Instead, implement 'erase' and 'undelete' commands at the
user level (or replace rm and add unrm?); that way, people that want it
can simply install a user-level package, and people that don't can ignore it.
