Just to clarify: I was applying "historically" to "fsck", not to the use of "yes" in general. I can't remember the last time I've had the need to use "yes | fsck"
It's probably still common in installation scripts, like in Dockerfiles. `apt-get install` has the `-y` option, but it would be useful for all other programs that don't.
