I totally disagree.  First off, there are are good number of people in
the Windows world that think "delete" means "gone forever."  I've seen
quite a few people that have no idea what the recycle bin does, and are
shocked to find their files are still there.  We don't want to have the
same issues here.

Secondly, "delete permanently" as a description for the direct removal
method is a bit misleading.  All that option does is remove the hardlink
to the inode -- it doesn't actually wipe the disk space the way the
"wipe" command does.  As a result, it is often possible to recover a
"deleted" file.  Having the label suggest that the item is gone
permanently gives a false sense of security.
