I can see how this change would be backward incompatible, however the current 
behaviour seems inconsistent with the way pathlib functions otherwise. Within 
two lines of code, the same path object can be pointing to two completely 
different locations simply because it's being used as the src argument to 
create a symlimk. That's counter to my understanding of the whole point of 
pathlib.

With regard to relative_to, I've found this issue, which doesn't seem to have 
been touched since 2016. https://bugs.python.org/issue20012
I'm new here, what's the best way to bump an issue?
