	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...
