Why is a symlink needed, for compatibility? I don't think that matters much. > I guess that also means that I don't have to special case /usr/bin/touch > anymore?

Hrm, if it does not bother you too much, maybe it would be better to keep that around for now; even if more and more new installations have a real /usr, there are still some installations with a symlink around, and coreutils is a pretty... core package, so supporting those people might be ok.
