The following commit

dired-do-delete: Allow to delete dirs recursively without prompts
(cbea38e5c4af5386192fb9a48ef4fca5080d6561)

doesn't consider the case when an user has aliased 'yes-or-no-p'
to 'y-or-n-p'.  That's annoying if you are used to the previous
behaviour.  I do.
Recently, I had a private communication with an user whom
complained about this recent change.

Not sure about the ideal fix.  The following patch work
around the issue adding a new function
'dired-y-or-n-or-a-p', which is called when yes-or-no-p is aliased to
y-or-n-p.  This function is y-or-n-p with an additional
possible answer '!' (aka, automatic), as in query-replace.

    dired-delete-file: Accept y/n if yes-or-no-p is aliased to y-or-n-p
    
    Some users like to redefine yes-or-no-p as an alias of
    y-or-n-p.  For backward compatibility 'dired-delete-file' must
    behave as usual in that case.
    * lisp/dired.el (defun dired-y-or-n-or-a-p): New defun.
    (dired--yes-no-all-quit-help): If yes-or-no-p is fset to y-or-n-p
    then call defun dired-y-or-n-or-a-p.
    (dired-delete-file): Update the pcase: it must handle
    3 inputs (symbols): 'automatic, t or nil.
    (dired-delete-help): Delete variable.
    * test/lisp/dired-tests.el (dired-test-bug27940): Update test.
