As a new user of the "OFBiz Linux OS" I would be also very surprised if the "rm" command really was a "rm -r" command; in my opinion this is worth of a change, even if old users would have to read one line of documentation to learn the change. But really, it is not very important, I am more than happy to leave things as is because I understand that this could be annoying for old users and frankly speaking I don't have time and energy to further discuss this.
