Comment 13 for bug 557177

The maintainer here is evidently hasn't a clue about anything. I'm no veteran but I've worked with several varieties of UNIX OSes throughout the years and NONE of them have ever had a plain executable destroy a filesystem without corresponding arguments. The user has no idea of when an executable is to be used by an application or by the end user (because all executables are user-runnable, duh), and all systems allow the usage of such since many tasks REQUIRE that you get down and dirty into system internals.

This behavior is inexcusable and I cannot consider Ubuntu to be a serious server OS if it doesn't have decent guidelines for the behavior of its system maintenance executabes.
