Re: rm -rf and recursive nothing

    There's also this business about what the standard says with
    regards to -f vs other options, but I consider the standard to be
    intensely short-sighted and completely wrong in this case, even
    worse then the POSIX locking standards (and those are pretty bad).
    It's like some child just decided to take the status quo and turn
    it into a law.

    -I is designed to not be 'naggy' the way -i is.  That is, I
    designed it to be usable by power users sysops and programmers and
    not just UNIX beginners.  Hence the default.
