How many different locks does a gun have? Last time I checked there
was one safety catch -- DNF asks you for 'y/N' confirmation with a
Three safety locks the last time I used it. After inserting the magazine I had to load the bullet first, then I had to unlock the gun and then I had to pull the trigger. I don't think that this procedure happens accidentally.
HUGE list of packages to be removed. If you're not sure whether
removing systemd or glibc is a bad idea, perhaps having root access
isn't the best plan in the world. There are _so_ _many_ _ways_ to hose
your system with root access, I really don't think we can or should
baby-proof just one low level command.
Because you don't think about it dosen't mean others think about it. If you build scripts that provision systems after minimal install, doing thinks like yum -y update, reboot and do cleanup like yum -y remove kernel, it works fine with yum but completely crash your system with DNF. Of course, you can wrap around this and build you own checks, but why should the checks be implemented in the scripts if the current update manager already provide this kind of checks and features?
