Feature #9260: make FileUtils.rm_rf raise on errors

• Status: Closed

I did have read that "force" flag ignores StandardError,
but it was unexpected for me because of linux's "rm -rf" fails if it can't delete.
"rm --help" says "-f ignore nonexistent files"
Imho it sounds better than just ignore all errors
Why isn't it done this way?
