If a window from another app is covering the trash can, it's a bit of a pain
to trash something from the finder.  Admitted, this is easier now since
you can just Hide all other layers.  Also, you can just open the trash window
and leave it open. The trash window will appear on top of other app windows.

As far as "well, if it crashes, just don't do it", this is obvious. But if
there is a bug that causes the system to crash, no matter how insignificant,
it should be looked in to.  Sometimes the coding error that caused the
small insignificant bug may also cause other problems with more serious
actions, that someone may not have done yet.

Like I said in a previous post, I am very VERY chuffed with system 7 so far. 
Hats off to Apple for a job well done!
