I am not at all sure that is a safe assumption. My phone does
not have a trash can. Indeed, none of the graphical user interfaces I
have used in about 20 years of computing has _ever_ featured a
trashcan, and I am not so sure I want to assume the future is
necessarily different.

Indeed. X10 was perhaps a mistake to go away from.
