Telling the user to manually back up a file because the program might
delete it with no warning is NOT a good solution.

Totally ignored, and marked invalid. Typical.

Title:
  crontab -r deletes cron entries without asking for confirmation

Status in cron package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  type: crontab -r

  Expected use case : should ask user if they really want to delete this
  file, of which there are no backups on the system by default, and may
  take hours to restore by hand, if it's even possible.

  what happens: user's cron entry is deleted with no warning.
