  Out of curiosity, what's fragile about them?  I've not used them, and am fine 
with leaving them off too, especially while it requires admin or developer 
mode.  That seems too weird that they could be created in one terminal and not 
another potentially.  And I wonder if that would cause issues with the cached 
marker indicating that the filesystem supports symlinks.
