There are points in being able to create, or move, softlinks to places where they point to something that currently doesn't exist, for instance in order to prepare tar archives and things like that for a deployment where the target later will exist. Changing this behaviour just so that you cause less errors seems unlikely. -- May the most significant bit of your life be positive.
