Actually... we will "always" need the compat symlinks (for a finite but

been in use on local systems, written by people who have long since passed
on (to new jobs), people targetting FHS compliant systems (unless the FHS
changes), etc will all depend on those symlinks being present. Even third
party software that users want to compile and run may try to install into
/bin, /sbin, and /lib so we may have that problem even there.
And things like /bin/sh are compiled into glibc...
And hard coded into 1000s of scripts and packages.
I seriously think, Fedora has many urgent problems to address than the
churn this "Feature" causes.
