I think srm should just be a tool people use explicitly when they want

When I think about it, deleting with a pattern instead of just zeros is
probably only advantageous when a disk is being disposed of -- in which
case srm being a userspace tool is not a disadvantage.

Well, if you want to dispose the disk, then i'd use something like Dariks
  Boot and Nuke (DBAN):

It offers really secure methods of overwriting your data with varying
  patterns, and if you want to dispose a whole disk. then maybe an userspace
  tool to delete single
files is not the best suited tool, IMHO.
Do you know WIPE ? http://wipe.sourceforge.net/
I don't know if it is the most secured rm, but it could be.

Yes, and it has the advantage that you don't need to reboot. Good point!
