Thanks! For the record: I added the sentence after "No, thank you" after I got a few downvotes. And please don't call them idiotic. It might be they truly believe in the necessity of someone "managing" FOSS projects

On the contrary. With idempotence you know the state after an action. rm -f will always delete the file (if possible). ln -sfn will always work, even for a directory. With the default behaviour of rm, ln -s, etc you know neither the state b
