That's not the crucial question. The crucial question is whether
those users are used to *relying* on the current default. How many
people will actively rely on a directory marked for deletion and
executed for deletion and affirmed positiviely for deletion will not
be deleted if non-empty?
That people are used to something being a nuisance and a hassle is not
reason enough to keep it such. Only if there is some conceivable
danger that they'll kill themselves unwittingly. I don't see this
with the 'top setting.
Actually, it might be a good idea to have a three-way answer for 'top:
namely yes/no/ask, or all/yes/no: let the user still have the choice
at the moment of deletion to decide whether he wants to be asked for
every subdirectory.
