I'm not so much worried about 'rm -rf /', but I'm more worried about "rm -rf *" in my home directory. It happened once because I was too happy switching directories before realising what I was doing in the wrong directory. Also, refusing to do it is not the ideal way to go, I think that if you have two -f's specified it would do it anyway. Just my two cents of course.
