There has been a lot of safety dispute. My opinion:

1) keep it simple

2) root should always know what he's doing

3) One good reason for me to use linux is the command

rm -rf *

without being asked:

``are you sure you want to delete all files''
YES
``WARNING: YOU ARE ABOUT TO ERASE ALL FILES!!! CONFIRM PLEASE''
CONFIRM
``are you R_E_A_L_L_Y sure you want to confirm, type YEPP''
YEPP
``this is your last chance, type it from right to left''
PPEY

``ERROR: there were no file found to delete in this directory.''

Please excuse me for being so verbose.
