[nycbug-talk] Safety Expansion for FreeBSD rm(1)

Re: [nycbug-talk] Safety Expansion for FreeBSD rm(1)

I have to concur with Ray.  In 20+ years of having a Trash can, it has only
saved me once or twice.  A good backup has saved me a whole lot more often
and with better results.

I think the principle "Keep It Simple, Stupid" should apply to rm.  If a
fancy version is needed for users, this should become a port or do some
fancy shell scripting.  Just keep /bin/rm simple ...
