is very typical, and speeding up this common use via NOEXEC is useful.
IOW: rm is "interactive", but not "longterm".
Interesting example of an applet which can be NOFORK but if not,
then should not be NOEXEC, is "usleep". As NOFORK, it amount to simply
nanosleep()ing in the calling program (usually shell). No memory wasted.
But if ran as NOEXEC, it would create a potentially long-term process,
which would be taking more memory because it did not exec
and did not free much of the copied memory of the parent
(COW helps with this only as long as parent doesn't modify its memory).
