That's butt ugly, and I'll have even more files than normally. Throw in
some inode quotas and boom, my $HOME is broken (and yes, I regularly
work on a system with ridiculously low inode quotas).
There are also some - arguably broken - software out there that scream
if the dotfile is a symlink. Even if I can fix those, I can't force the
Solaris sysadmin to install that version.
