I believe that "someone" that mentioned fat32 compatibility in the 
context of symlinks was me.  

But "we want" is rather strong for what I intended.  More, "it's a factor 
to keep in mind", and "if we decide we do NOT want to keep fat32 
compatibility, we should be sure the feature we're implementing that 
breaks it is worth the tradeoff."

Maybe it is worth the tradeoff.  Maybe it isn't.  But either way, we 
shouldn't break that compatibility accidentally, simply because we didn't 
think of it as a factor.
