When NOT to use rm-safely
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Avoid if you are working within environments where strict compliance with standard Unix commands is required, as rm-safely modifies this behavior.
- Do not use in scenarios where the overhead of additional safeguards for file removal is unnecessary or unwanted for operational efficiency reasons.
