Good point.

This whole discussion is driving me nuts because we are talking about
symbolic links (or *soft* links), not hard links. Once a hard link is
established, there is not a link and the actual file. There are two (or
more) actual and equal paths to the same data. There is no way (or reason)
for any client to give a hard link special treatment.

And NTFS does support hard links.
