symlinks in 'svn status'

hello

is there a speceal reason why symlinks are shown as
? = not under version control in 'svn status'
instead of handle them as I = ignored

because the files are ignored (if possible) from
the svn subcommands this would possibly be a
more appropriate status-description.
