Don't make a function no one uses (because it has no function) but is able destroy the system. Compare it to a aircraft, shutdown your fuel has probably a emergency function, make a button to instantly destroy your aircraft has no real function nor will it ever be used (aka pkg remove -af). >Unfortunately, we now have a few people complaining about predictable, consistent behaviour with packaging that is coherent. That's not predictable but stupidity, try to remove all pkg/Application/Apps from MacOS, Windows, OpenBSD, NetBSD or Android...will the system boot or not? All those operating-systems make a clear distinction from the base-system to "apps" and the system should ALWAYS boot to a state where you can interact with it and so should FreeBSD. There is not a single system (no OS and no living being) in this world wheres there is a function to destroy itself would not be called a error (the worst possible one) But hey lets tell Linus (from Linus tech-tips, a Linux beginner) it's your fault because you forgot to read 100 lines, what a wannabe elitist think, there are ZERO point's, that a system should be able to make itself not booting anymore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4L8Oci_2Bs |
