We should do this safe variant for security reasons.

Mtree is just an application and have nothing related to system security by itself. Better keep applications in sync when possible since when people use them for their own needs, they suppose that applications are the same. Safe or unsafe terms can't be used for mtree as application. -- Andrey A.
