Update of bug #22646 (project coreutils):
Status: None => Invalid
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #2:
GNU rm already has the -I option, which seems to do what you want.
It was added in coreutils-6.0, released 1.5 years ago:
rm --help says this:
-I prompt once before removing more than three files,
or
when removing recursively. Less intrusive than
-i,
while still giving protection against most
mistakes
