It isn't in -current, does this mean that it wasn't considered an acceptable long-term solution? Really large numbers of hardlinks are probably rare enough, but the default limit of 4 seems a bit low, it should probably be at least as high as the maximum link count encountered on a normal installation. There are other ways to hold down at least as much memory per file you can keep open as with the limit of 4.
