Ah, I had forgotten about this already.

Committed. The patch looks very safe to me, but given that we're just
about to wrap the release I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this
didn't break anything,.

I didn't commit this to the back-branches yet, because I'm not sure if
we have consensus on that. If symlinking has a meaningful performance
advantage, someone might be unhappy if we disable that option in a minor
release. I think we should go ahead anyway, but does anyone object?
