as a non-root user, this would be fine. but, i was setting up a docker container for development [1], and upon running a login shell, the shortcuts script would get invoked, and would remove /dev/null (and later re-create it), which changes its type from a character device into a regular file, thus breaking the system (e.g. apt update wouldn't work anymore).
