I would agree, it is really a social engineering problem. But the easy
at which file managers allow someone to navigate around mounted file
systems (Unix world) or mount network drives (Windows world) has caused
many complaints from users about long delays. Which has resulted in us
having to trim down the number of cells that are available.
But... when you have several thousand users, its easier to maintain the
symbolic links, than to have to deal with the noise.
