Oh, great. So your reasons should pass for arbitrary filesystem, right?
Let's see: you are not closing any security hole. You are creating
gratitious incompatibility with everything and sundry, just because you
can't be bothered to learn standard mechanisms (make a directory
unavaliable and none of the links there will be cloned). You propose
