    I was indeed thinking about that.  I always use 'rm -rf' myself, even
    when the 'f' is not necessary.  Whether -I should operate in that case

Well, -f suppresses prompting for confirmation wrt file permissions. To 
me it only seems logical that it should also suppress -I prompting. I've 
always looked at -f as "don't bother me with any messages and prompts, 
just do it". :)
