Mtree _as_application_ is just userland program and can't be secure or insecure. It must act how it was originally designed to make less confuse to users which know this application. And it was designed with defaults to PHYSICAL. Since we use this application to create system directories, which _is_ security issue, I add -L to handle that case. -- Andrey A.
