I put that to the test one time on a system I was going to wipe anyway... It didn't work.

The trend across the board seems to be: protect people from doing dangerous things without confirmation, because it's easier to protect them, than deal with complaints or fix the messes they make after the fact.



Really? I know `rm -rf /` doesn't work, but was pretty sure the star version did. Time to go burn a VM:)


I'll have to do the same thing again too, cause now I'm not so sure...
