this is a good idea.
i had the same one. i thought it would be easy to test out a new release, and
if i could not get things working - change the link back to the old one.
i did have problems which i believe were related to the softlink.
i have since gone back to hardlinks for the apache server directory.
i'd be interested to see if this produces good results in a production
environment.
