Email is a very poor communication medium. It is very easy to take 
something personaly when it wasn't intended like that. It is very rare 
for someone to actually want to go on a vendeta against someone else on 
line (inspite of the fact that flame wars are very common).

Does it use 'echo -e "y\nY\n"'? The website says that it used to use 
--force-yes and it now uses 'echo -e "y\nY\n"'

What happens if it crashes mid-way? What is the default behaviour? If I 
give it to my mom and she just presses "Yes" at everything, what will 
happen?

Of course. Is the current criticism well-informed? See here:
