That gets back to what Bob mentioned about it being a
nanny-restriction.
The inevitable comment to be asked by someone is
"Refuse?
Isn't it my computer? How do I override such a refusal?
I seem to remember reading that the "-f" flag was specifically
added to override such such a refusal w/no further comment."
Answer: well, yeah it was, but they caught MS-itus, and wanted
to put in "are you really sure? (y/[n])", but weren't allowed
to ask more questions, so it just wins because its not your system
anymore.
**- Is it true that you can override this with
-supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
flag? 1/2:-)
I still think an ENV flag that lists the command
and behavior to override would be a specific enough, yet
generally enough solution to safely make a case for
allowing it.
I.e. _EXPERT_="rm(.) command(feature1 feature2) find(.error)"
