 No it is not needed. I am not requesting it.

 I guess symlinks can be made and then some tool to check them daily to 
 make sure exists.
 
 I see now that the current/ directory does have the symlinks but the 
 stable/ directory does not.
 
 I can probably make the symlinks myself, but I don't know if something 
 will end up replacing them.
