That's an interesting idea. sudo pre-rm could say, "please set a root
password and retry" or something. I took from OP saying about "who
remembers root password?" that they did have a root password set though,
in which case this wouldn't help of course.
(Whole other conversation here about having a root password set that you
don't record somewhere also being questionable practice!)
Thanks,
