juju destroy-environment is terrifying; please provide an option to neuter it

[James Troup]

'juju destroy-environment' is a terrifying command. I appreciate both
that there's an obvious need for such a command (esp. with test/dev
environment) and there's a prompt, but I still feel it's far too easy
for someone to not notice which window/tab they're on and accidentally
destroy a production environment instead of a local test/dev one.

Could we please have a flag in the juju environment
(e.g. 'unbreakable' or 'indestructible') which if set, causes
destroy-environment to refuse to run?

Recommend something like apt does when we do something scary where you have to type in "I know what I am doing do as I say!" or something.

The attached branch implements a config file setting for an environment, 'prevent-destroy': boolean, a true value of which prevents accidental cli destruction.

Kapil, can you go ahead and merge this? Leaving it in 0.6 for now...

[Rafael Pivato (rpivato)]

I could not find this fix neither at 0.6 nor latest releases. Can you confirm that this prevent-destroy option was really merged?

[Kapil Thangavelu (hazmat)]

It looks like the branch didn't get enough reviews to get merged at the
time, i'm adding this as a bug for juju-core.
