FWIW, I'm making virtually every symlink relative instead of absolute for just
this reason. (To be exact, more similar to Solaris' approach, so
/sys -> ./usr/src/sys and /home -> ./usr/home)


This is the second time I've posted about this, but I'm beginning to think this is a very good idea. I really don't foresee any problems with it. Since you guys already have some of this work complete, perhaps you could submit a PR for it?
