Responsible-Changed-Why: 
(Hmm, will this let me make a change after it's closed?)

The ability for root to link and unlink directories has just been removed,
so the ln -F option was deleted too.  This really was a bad mis-feature
that opens up all sorts of race conditions and other problems.  Not to mention
programs that expect ".." to point to the parent directory....
