With all due respect, this is more serious than a "Wishlist" item. A script that can be executed which will destroy a server's filesystem is a serious problem. I cannot think of any usage case where it would be preferable for a script to destroy the entire filesystem. Additionally, the script name of "mounted-tmp" would imply to any reasonable person that this script only affects the tmp directory. Having it fail to catch an error resulting in the destruction of the entire filesystem is simply not acceptable. This is the kind of thing that makes people look at linux and say it's not enterprise-ready. Please reconsider patching this flaw.
