Eric V. Smith <e...@trueblade.com> added the comment:

There's really no way we'd consider breaking possibly millions of working 
programs to change the parameter names. I guess you could come up with some way 
of supporting both sets of parameter names, but I doubt we'd accept that, 
either.

While maybe in hindsight we should have chosen the parameter names that "ln -s" 
uses, that ship has sailed, and we'll have to live with it like it is.
