The intent would be to migrate svn:special nodes into kind_symlink for storage and use throughout wc, and then back to svn:special at the "edge". It's a much more sane way to handle symlinks. (especially if you've ever looked at the svn_subst.h handling for this stuff!)
Will we get it done for 1.7? Unclear. My preference is to continue coding as if kind_symlink is used, to make it easier to add that final bit of code. If we take too many "symlink isn't used shortcuts", then when we *do* enable the code, there will be a bunch of gotchas.
