Sure. But I don't know how much hand holding with the CLI is practical and necessary. I can't tell you how many times I've done wipefs -a /dev/sdb, when I meant wipefs -a /dev/sdc because the f'n node ordering changed the drives around. I don't expect to be hand held through that, I mean what could even be done?
mkfs.xfs has had (and mkfs.btrfs now also has) a -f flag that's required to format over an existing volume. That's saved me a few times. However, now that I'm used to it, I bet it won't anymore because I'm already just including -f as second nature. *shrug*
Since "* remove kernel" appears to be inspecific, removing all kernels isn't what I'd expect. It's not how mv or cp or anything else would work.
Good point. Anything that becomes common and expensive needs a fix when the fix is much cheaper.
