Point well taken, idiotsafe version couldn't harm much.

BTW, just a thought, there is a relation between 'sudo rm -rf /' and  'sudo cat /dev/zero > /dev/XdX'  :P

In case of any accidental deletion, having zeroed out partition earlier might reduce damage a lot by increasing chances of undelete.  ;) (I have even occasionally written a zero file to unused space of a partition, just to remove it after it wrote zeroes to all unused space)
