   Can you name a few?

systat/sysstat.  swapon/swapctl.
   
   I don't remember that we have any "backward compatibility" symlinks for 
   any of the moves I remember from the past time, like postinstall(8).
   
   It would be nice to h ave an official policy documented on this 
   somewhere, esp. how we determine when to remove the compat symlink.

who said they are symlinks?  progarms moving directory is different
to changing name.  moving directory means that most people won't be
affected by the name change (who has only one of /bin & /usr/bin or
/sbin & /usr/sbin in the $PATH?)

i don't want "vnconfig" to ever be removed.  i don't see any point.
