In case anyone didn't know, this command would recursively remove all files and directories on the entire filesystem.

No it [most likely] wouldn't. Read the manpage.

To clarify to anyone not fammilar with rm, running `rm /` is such a stupid thing to do, that rm has a special case where if won't let you delete "/". To override this behavior, you need the flag "--no-preserve-root".
