Yes, you are not the first. But this works very effectively to "force" people
to read and understand the message before entering "yes".
(You can always use -q quiet switch to disable this completely.)
Note the "uppercase" in warning.
WARNING!
========
This will overwrite data on /x irrevocably.
Are you sure? (Type uppercase yes):
Sorry but I think the message is doing what it should.

Ok so maybe just writing "aborting" instead of returning quietly to the
shell would be easier to understand.
I understand your point, it is just that I found it misleading. When I
typed yes in lowercase, I thought there was another issue, I was wondering
why it didn't ask for a passphrase. So I started cruising around the system
to find if I did something wrong earlier. Then I found the answer on a
mailing list after 30mn.
In my opinion, it's a good idea to make sure the user read the warning, but
if you don't tell the user that he did something wrong, he will not
understand your point.
