Of course. It eliminates problems that are horribly familiar to every
experienced sysadmin, even if not to some clueless OS distributors.

More rhetoric not backed by any engineering sense. Why am I supposed to
believe that symlinks in / cause any problems for users?

I've heard users complain that Solaris is expensive. I've heard users
complain that Solaris doesn't come with a compiler. I've never heard a
user say ``I think Solaris sucks because it has symlinks in /.''

``Yick''? Is that supposed to mean ``My measurements have shown that
this makes a 0.0001% difference in system performance, and, damn it, I
think that's important''?
