Yeah, this is annoying, but AIUI they call it a feature; a local
admin can symlink directories around if they suddenly lack space
on a partition (this was before bind mounts existed).

<diogenese> Beware of ritual lest you forget the meaning behind it.
<igli> yeah but it means if you really care about something, don't

obsess. or you'll forget why you love it in the first place.
