I personally much prefer the idea of just doing it. If we have magic=20
symlinks, we have them. The idea of needing to look at the bits on a link=
=20
strikes me as making adminsitration harder, not easier.

Also, AFAIK, AFS has had this concept for well over a decade. I've been=20
exposed to it for over 15 years. It's NOT NEW. I fail to see how the=20
concerns being expressed (the user experience and the readdir stuff)=20
wouldn't have come up before, so let's see what AFS folks did.

Take care,
