+Summary: Clarify the spirit of (exit) confirmations
+
+Being lazy I'll just paste the text from my mail.
+
+> Now, as I see it, the idea with the exit confirmation dialog is that the
+> user has the last chance to avoid losing his work or data, which in this
+> case means his best game of tetris ever.  But if there is no data to be
+> lost, is there any reason to ask for confirmation?  If not, should the
+> guidelines recommend against such confirmations?
