Ummm, must be a definition of non-issue I've never heard before...
I still have some nightmares of SunOS systems with the symlinks
from hell... The file reorganization will break many a code
that assumes the classic /,/bin,/etc,/usr/bin,/usr/lib,/usr/spool
configuration. Making 1,000 symlinks will make things worse
not better...
