I am sure it's possible to script obliterate output to a log of what it's done and then work out which users have what and email them.
A little later you do the real obliterate....

It would make me nervous if it was done. Syncing deleted files is reversible since you can resync to the previous revision; having sync remove obliterated files would be a one-way operation.
As I understand it, you really don't want "sync" to do it. You'd want sync it to do "p4 sync <file>#none" so the db.have won't list it. Seems an easier way is to inform whoever is interested that the file/directory has been obliterated. Suppose an "accidental" obliterate is done and a developer really DID want the file in question. If sync deletes it (syncs to #none), the file is gone forever on the client. That's what's wanted in most cases, but not all. It seems most cases of people using obliterate involves accidentally created files/directories (in which case, most developers probably wouldn't have sync'd it anyway) or deleted files/directories that need to be cleaned up.
Just my $.02.
