Comment (by leavengood):
Well, strictly speaking, removing that option just made the trash "always
on", and that doesn't really mean that an alert is now needed when
emptying the trash. In other words if the alert is needed now it was
needed before too.
Personally I'm not opposed to this. But I generally prefer using undo over
an alert. Though having undo for emptying the trash is a bit tricky. What
might be neat is to delay the emptying for 30 seconds (or some reasonable
timeout), to give the user a chance to cancel it. Sort of like when you
trash something in Gmail you get a chance to undo that until you perform
some other action on the page. Though it might be quite a bit of work to
implement this. But maybe having a "delay this action for x amount of time
and allow it to be cancelled" functionality in Tracker might be useful for
other things.
