On one episode of BSD Now[1], Bryan Cantrill tells how they made 'rm -rf /' not work on Solaris. It seems like a good idea in that they managed to stay compliant to POSIX while disarming that particular foot seeking-missile. Or, in other words: I agree completely, in fifteen years I have never used 'rm -rf /', I always used mkfs to create fresh filesystem.
