We have similar silliness w/ /usr/X11 being a tree of links pointing to /usr. Again, setting the default PATH properly in the system files is much cleaner.

Many paths are already burned into software on existing CD/DVDs or used as default search locations by existing software. The /usr/X11 path is a common convention established long ago and is not Solaris specific.

The problem is not really the symbolic links. The problem is if there is a clear plan for how things will finally be in the future.
