Maybe I should request removal of shred from Fedora/RH instead.
According to you it's one of the most misleading and useless tools. So
why still confuse people with it and still ship it?

At least it should be documented that it doesn't delete the files in
question from backups, like you should never try to dry your cat in a
microwave.

Which, by the way, should be documented in the manpages for rm, unlink() and unlinkat() too. Someone might otherwise assume that e.g. a rm might delete files in a snapshot too,
