Agreed.  There is also \rm as a way to avoid the alias too.  But then
you start to see people write that into scripts because they think
they need to.

I prefer editing the root .bashrc file to remove those aliases on
those systems that define them.  Then they are gone and you don't have
to worry about them anymore.
