Do you also want to be able to swap to the root partition while
it's mounted?  We can bring back that feature, too.  But
personally, I don't see anything wrong with the view that
operations that are guaranteed to shoot people in the foot should
be disallowed.


Every anti foot shooting takes time to check for. A strncmp for every arg is maybe ok. Traversing the tree for realpath is not. The job for `rm` is to remove whatever it is given to get removed. As fast as possible. Nothing else.
