No way.  You're missing the simple (and human-interfacely correct) solution.

It should default to NO.  You always default to the safe thing.

You should have to explicitly type a y or Y (or a whole string beginning with
a y or Y, if you want to keep the same kind of command interface).

Requiring *me* to type _more_ because you mistype is not a good thing.
(I usually use Q anyway to avoid the damn "modal dialog", since that's
effectively what it is.)
