IMO that was the right design choice. You just don't want to mess around with these symlinks without care, so it is better to test that everything is as expected. Otherwise you'll break some system that somebody had tweaked 5 years ago and forgotten about. This way the edge cases get reported, and can be taken into account before opening things up more... -- Rich
