Updating symbolic links isn't on the S2 distribution punchlist

which means I haven't been doing it. (This list really, really,
really, is exactly what I've been doing; no more, no less.)

It also means that I don't know or remember what these links do or why
we need them.


The 'current' links used to be required / recommended as part of the
mirroring strategy. I just went looking for the instructions that used to
tell us how to set them up, and discovered that this has changed, apparently
without notice. (At least I certainly don't remember being notified that the
mirroring requirements changed.) Now we are specifically being told to *not*
create symbolic links! In fact, the instructions seem to indicate that the
'current' links probably shouldn't be created any more.

So, you're probably doing it right after all, Ted. ;-)
