Thank you for the new patches Allen!
I don't have strong opinions on this thread; probably because
I am already in Christmass mode or something...  Anyway, I think
you guys are discussing pretty well the thing!

I have just two comments in the second patch:

               ^^^^

* Version must be 26.1
* The :type looks unrelated with the option.
Maybe better something like this:

:type '(choice (const :tag "Ask confirmation" t)
		 (const :tag "Never ask confirmation" nil))

You might put the option in the same line as `when', i.e.:
(when dired-confirm-shell-command
