:Should we attribute the creator of the thread on freebsd-hackers@ for 
:inspiring the changes? Maybe I'm going overboard, but I just hate seeing 
:``Wah, you didn't give attribution'' from both sides. I say nip it in 
:the bud while it can still be nipped ;)

    I don't think they'd appreciate the reference.

    "Inspired by a huge bikeshed on the FreeBSD lists where nobody could 
    agree on anything and nobody bothered to post any patches for the ideas
    they *did* come up with".

    But you are right, I should add a reference to the original poster who
    correctly identified a long-standing problem with newbie users and UNIX
    blowing away their home directories or whole systems with 'rm'.
