The only way I could think of to review a patch
that removes something is to report all the places
I looked where a reference to the symlink might be.
Then report what I found each place I looked and
report if there's a problem, or might be.

That way the committer knows where I didn't look if there's
more that needs removing.

Apologies that this was not clear.
