Because modifying the symlink by hand works whether that program is
available or not? In fact if you build a newer version of Glibc yourself,
you'll probably find that it looks in a different place (I forget where- I
found it from a strace of 'date') than RedHat does by default, and you
_have_ to do it by hand then or programs which get the date from the
system will complain that the time zone is not set correctly.
