I am running my F16 system with all these symlinks now for quiet a 
while. Despite the consolehelper symlinks, I have not encountered any 
problem. Even rpm updates seem to work fine. But I agree, the devil is 
in the detail, and we surely will find something, which does not work. 
But I don't think, these problems are severe and not easily fixable.
