I'm really not _against_ the change, and I do see the point of making things consistent. But I'm coming from the standpoint of someone who's trying to introduce freebsd into a previously all-sun shop, and every single little thing that's different gets me a funny look and N minutes of explanation as to why we do things the way we do. Personally I've taken to symlink'ing /var/adm/messages on the sun boxes, so having a symlink the other way around in this case is fine with me.
