I think this is kind of a poor UI design of rm(1) honestly. It seems
like what we need is a 'never be interactive' flag, that won't surpress
the error message about the schg'd file, or read-only file system, but
won't try to prompt for it.

Although adding a new flag to rm(1) at this point probably doesn't make
sense.
