I think removing the ability to use link(2) or unlink(2) on directories
would hurt no-one and would make a few things easier.
I'd be rather carful here, see the standards implications drafted in
4917742.
The standard gives permission to disallow unlink() on directories:
"The path argument shall not name a directory unless the process has
appropriate privileges and the implementation supports using unlink()
on directories."
The ZFS implementation disallows it.
I'd be more then happy to see this feature disappearing from UFS as well.
