nah, a Unix-compatible version with a new user interface... that's all.
Changing the behavior of rm is not a simple user interface change, it is a fundamental change that would render your new OS most definitely not Unix-compatible.
what is the equivalent of X in Mac btw? Aqua must use some kind of renderer... i was thinking of OpenGL, Darwin and Webkit as a base for my project.

Yes, that is what we're saying. rm cannot change. As long as Apple wants to conform to the POSIX specification, rm must behave as described there: http://www.unix.org/single_unix_specification/
If you want to create a new operating system in which rm moves files to a trash directory, time is counted in minutes since 1970, all function names are in Spanish, and nobody's shell scripts work because nothing in /bin behaves as expected, go for it. It just won't be Unix anymore.
