You are creating gratitious incompatibility with everything and sundry, just because you can't be bothered to learn standard mechanisms (make a directory unavaliable and none of the links there will be cloned). You propose schemes that require root being involved (group creation, for one). Great. Sorry, but count me against that. Submit such patches to Linus, if you want - he has the final word here, but I'm against that misfeature.
