    It’s not very commonly used though. I have seen this command only a few times. I don’t feel like Linux users are missing stuff like this, so they dont use it.

    But thanks for the long comment, was a nice read. :)

      It’s not commonly used (on the usual popular systems) but for “simple” systems (like Ubuntu) it should probably be used more. There are reasons to remove /usr or ~, but I think requiring a special command to prevent accidents would solve more problems than it causes.
