The ergonomics of xbps-remove -F #654

Description

Pardon me, but if xbps-remove -F is such a potentially dangerous option, should it really be bound to the same letter as the shortened version of --force? Someone might absent-mindedly hit the shift key when he intends to enter a less risky command and accidentally mess up his system.
My guess is that it's rarely used enough that removing -F and keeping --force-revdeps as a longer, more intentionally-typed option wouldn't be much of a hassle for users outside maybe messing up someone's bash script. That in itself would be annoying, but much less so than an accidental use of -F in the wrong place.
