I think it's still incredibly useful to be able to move stuff around with symlinks.
Until we're all runnning ZFS by default, I think the transparency of MyISAM's data storage (and other engines that do the same) is greatly appreciated in times of space crisis, data migration, and so on. That said, I wouldn't try to convince anyone to make a *new* engine symlink friendly if it takes much extra effort.
