This proposed change solves no architecural problem with the system that I

retrain fingers and update scripts that have worked for decades. If even
one customer is inconvenienced by these changes, I'd argue the cost has
already exceeded the benefit. Yes, we can break things, but that doesn't
mean we should do so frivolously.
I'm with meem on this. I see little value-add here and a lot of
hard-to-quantify risk from deleting these.
If we have to do something, move the /etc compat symlinks to an optional
package or package facet that people who want "cleanliness" can
uninstall or disable at their own risk.
