That is a very bad reason, if this disk space saving and not having
to see all the ../.. scroll by on your terminal as make buildworld
runs is your motivation for this I would say we need to stop
now and have a more reasonable and serious discussion about why
this is actually a good idea.

Please go fix the bug in your browser and hold off on these
changes (in either direction) until a proper discussion, possibly
real tests to see if there is any savings in cycles worthy
of this sized change.
