I've decided over the years that I'll suffer the occasional self-inflicted dope slap just to avoid having to jump through three levels of warnings for certain things. If I want to delete a file, I want to delete it NOW, dammit... I've even un-aliased all my "rm's" in all my .xxxxrc files to get rid of the damn "-i" feature Ubuntu and Redhat seems to have stuck in to the etc version of that file (or if it's my own desktop I just go to the system file and delete or comment out that stupid line).
