I see that you don't know about "rm" and "unlink",
and unlink(8) is on NetBSD, unlink(1) for various other platforms.

Again, so what? I know you dislike legacy codes and tools, so what?
Do you want to say "hey, you must not use unlink(1) in these days!"
to authors of such scripts?
"where is it used?"... don't you have the way to search it?
For example,
  https://github.com/freebsd/portmaster/blob/master/portmaster
Let's go to FreeBSD project! feedback and comments about the script
are unwanted for me, let's say to FreeBSD people!
