Comment 26 for bug 174283

@all: may I suggest you move this discussion to the ubuntu, or the devel-discuss mailing lists?

It makes not much of a sense to keep discussing on a closed bug; if you feel that strong that 'rm' should not remove directories (and please note that -- on current coreutils -- you *must* use --no-preserve-root if you want to completely clean up your system), then this is really not the ideal discussion point.

Thank you.
