We had some discussion here about shell links, and some people might be
wondering why there is a confirmation prompt for shell links at all.
Here is why:
Consider a link
[[shell:rm -rf ~/*][Google Search]]
This link would look like "Google Search" in an Org-mode buffer, but
when you activate it, it would remove your home directory. So there is
a very good reason to prompt for confirmation, and fully removing the
confirmation is a rather bad idea.
