hey,
The single executable is a good idea, but I see two problems:

Always a problem. Personally, I would hope that *upstream* ship
legacy shims in the next major release, then include a deprecation
warning in the
one after that, then finally remove them in three major releases —
to give us
laggards time to catch up.
yeah I think a simple system that support symlinks to the single
executable which would then
check $0 would be a valuable addition
+1.
At this point we're just leaving the existing executables where they
are. It's essentially equivalent - they only have one line of code in
them.
So yeah, this shouldn't cause any breakage for anyone.
