You *must* be kidding me. I applaud your efforts to restore our
tranquility, but have no intention of thinking of '-s' as "suppress
warning".

In the enlightened interests of:
1. Better improving the operating system as a whole, and ln in
particular,
2. Ending the hostility which has regrettably come into being in this
thread (quite a bit of it my own fault, my apologies to the
populace and MTAs at large)
3. Allowing myself and others to return to a pressing hack I have
elsewhere instead of keeping up with this discussion, and
4. Keeping me from making the same blasted silly mistake that brought
me into this mess to begin with,
I have submitted, as pr bin/7265, a patch to implement a -w flag which
will effect these warnings. I have no intention of dealing with this
matter further unless somebody can show good cause (ie bugs or actual
breakage caused by this patch) as to why my patch is a Bad Thing.
Happy hacking,
joelh
