I did a little archaeology. AFAICT, there was no specific objection to pushing --disable-canonical-prefixes into upstream trunk. The feedback I see to your initial post was "send us a trunk-based patch" and "here are some minor nits to cleanup." It basically sounds like upstream was neutral to the patch and would probably accept it if we actually sent something for review. I still think this is something that is both reasonable and feasible to push upstream. We should at least try to get some feedback first. While there aren't a lot of people using symlink farms, I'd be surprised if we were the only ones. Ollie
