I would prefer simply removing the dependency of rm -rf in the tests,
even if that's for a short time as 9.4 is EOL in two months. A
back-patch applies without conflicts, and the tests are able to pass.
Would you prefer doing it yourself? I have not checked yet on
Windows, better to make sure that it does not fail.
