Why not do both? Unix untilities do it sometimes this way: Use an interactive check for "scrubenv" but allow "scrubenv -force" not to ask. As many of the U-Boot users know Unix, this would follow from the "principle of least surprise"...
That would be exactly the other way round, i. e. provide an optional "-i" argument like "rm *" is doing in Unix.
The default shall be not to ask any questions.

They say, well, meybe it _is_ smelly, maybe it _is_ overcrowded, may-
be it _is_ a bit like Hell would be if they shut the fires off and
stabled a herd of incontinent cows there for a year, but you must
admit that it is full of sheer, vibrant, dynamic _life_.
