Someone has to explain how rm, which doesn’t allocate any memory (as far as I can tell), isn’t memory safe ?

I don't know whether rm is memory-safe or not, but vpr is. By 'memory-safe alternative' I meant that this alternative is memory-safe, but not that rm isn't.

Reminds me of when they started printing "vegan" and "gluten free" on water bottles.
