z/OS manages to do this worse than any other vendor's product I know of.
A couple examples:

511 $ uname -a 
Darwin PaulGilm.local 10.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.8.0: Tue Jun  7 16:33:36 
PDT 2011; root:xnu-1504.15.3~1/RELEASE_I386 i386
512 $ ls -al `whence java`
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  74 Oct 19  2013 /usr/bin/java -> 
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java

498 $ uname -a
Linux gil-crunchbang 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.65-1+deb7u1 x86_64 
GNU/Linux
499 $ ls -al `whence java`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Dec 29 14:49 /usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java

IBM ought to do as well: when installing or upgrading Java, correspondingly
install a version-free symlink to the current version.

But is IBM listening?  I suppose it's an RFE candidate.
