-------------------------------------
Thanks [~arpitagarwal] for the feedback.
bq. We have seen some administrators routinely pass –skipTrash which leads to
these situations. IMO if we add --yes or similar they will just start including
that as well.
Agree, adding "-y" is not a good idea as we should not leave work around for it
when it is enabled. As different use cases have different expectations for rm,
we will also document it to enable it only for appropriate ones and leave it
disabled by default.

> We have seen many cases with customers deleting data inadvertently with
> -skipTrash. The FSShell should prompt user if the size of the data or the
> number of files being deleted is bigger than a threshold even though
> -skipTrash is being used.
