Another (and consistent) view is that we had a deal. From 1969 til
2013, we had a deal that if you backed up every day and then used a bad
rf command, restoration to the beginning of the day would be a couple
hours of work, and that's it.

Now, when you ill-advisably use rm, you need to go out and buy, then
configure, a totally new machine, before you can even begin to restore
from backup. And be careful: /dev/sda1 might not be the same on the new
box.
