That was a marketing hoax (which I didn't even find really credible
because Linux' rm doesn't operate recursively on / without the option
--no-preserve-root for some years now).

Thanks! I think we need to share more examples on how to use systemd
properly. A lot of the criticism stems from the simple fact that people
just need to learn what the new tools can do for them.
