Yes, but as already mentioned, this has the bad side effect of fork()ing
one rm process per file, which is really inefficient.

It seems to me that if you want to delete files, you should use -delete,
otherwise you should use -print0 | xargs -0 (if the command you're
running works with multiple arguments), otherwise you should use -exec.
