Question #77119 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77119

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
Just watch the use of *s in commands as well as the use of rm -rf which
people seem oh too well to bandy around.

If a user can use sudo then you can do anything you like, you can even
waltz into the modules folder for your kernel and simply wipe them all
out, this is not just Ubuntu. It is all Linux. Similarly you can run
regedit in windows and deleted registry keys willy nilly and I bet the
system will not boot.

With great power comes great reponsibility.
