: And this is where you'd be wrong. Check the Austin Group mailing list
: archives and the SCU Defect Report in Aardvark. This issue has been
: discussed on and off since April 2003. As far as I can tell, the
: resolution was that "the wording in the current version of the
: standard does not allow this, but future versions will."
Just because the standard allows the insane behavior of not allow rm
-rf / doesn't mean it requires it. Your commit is disruptive, rude
and disrespectful of your fellow committers. Please back it out.
