? Which don't work between file systems; if you're going to nuke symlinks
? because you think normal links are enough, you'd better make normal
? links work between file systems (yes, even if the file systems aren't on
? the same machine).

Don't forget links to directorys. And there are times when symlinks to
plain files are useful as well.
