Oops - seems like even kernel code developers are not all of one mind
when it comes to what the convention is regarding the /usr/src/linux
sym link.
I think my preference would be to make the intention more explicit -
it a symlink is for use by scripts and makefile then it can be
verbose, such as
/usr/src/current_buid_kernel
which can be accompanied with a separate link to be used a shorthand
for the current kernel by human users, such as
/usr/src/sys
which could be set correctly during boot.
(linux would really need to be left as a confusing link for compatability)
