If I had "important" systems running bo, on which I have installed
additional software from my own, I would certainly make sure that the
additional software works well with hamm before upgrading any of those
"important" systems. Otherwise I would be an irresponsible person, don't
you think so?

What do you mean, that we will never be able to remove those symlinks?
Do you have a better plan to get rid of them than not to restore them
back in hamm?

BTW: Does latest Red-Hat provide any of these symlinks?
