Comment(by zooko):

 I'm not sure "This is how unix has always done it." is a sufficient
 response to the criticism of "Users are confused by it.".  :-)

 Also, unix traditionally disallows hardlinks to directories (which Tahoe-
 LAFS doesn't), and also unix users traditionally abjure hardlinks and
 regard them as mysterious and as trouble waiting to happen.
