--- Comment #6 from Vladimir Krstulja <vlad-fbsd@acheronmedia.com> ---
Except you can't rm -rf /  . Why is it that you can't rm -rf /, but you can
remount it with a random dataset that becomes available, with no questions
asked, and no warnings given?

And it's simply not comparable. Running rm -rf is a deliberate, explicit
action. Unlocking a geli provider and getting your root remounted is nowhere
near that.

I'm sorry, but I don't accept that.

Plus, nothing would remove the power and flexibility of ZFS if it required
confirmation or a --force flag, for such destructive actions.
