How is the feedback useful? If it gave you a "cancel" option for the
operation, I would be a bit more inclined to understand its usefulness.
However, it's simply just giving you an "OK" button, redundantly informing
you of what you've already done. I clicked the option in the context menu,
that's informative enough. If I have a confirmation after that, I would at
least expect a cancel button. The confirmation serves no real purpose other
than to force the user to click an extra button.
