It uses shred, in the hope it will somedays learn how to shred stuff on FLASH based devices securely too, once that has become possible.

It should be relatively easy to make that possible: Using secure trim which erases blocks instead of just marking them as free, it should be possible without much effort for file systems to implement a secure unlink. An obvious name would be sunlink(2). Or does such already exist? I've seen secure trim already exists for some devices, but not sunlink().
