I'd say that if someone really wants that, they should use a hook to
create the symlink.
I don't think we want this behaviour by default however as it tends to
be very confusing for users.
Known issues (as found when ubuntu touch was similarly abusing this):
- Requires root access to read any of the files
- Various syscalls will fail on such paths (one such example is that you can't
bind-mount a subdir of such a symlink)
- Having one of those paths open when the container dies may prevent some
resources from getting destroyed, leading to crashes.
** Changed in: lxc (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix
