I propose to backwards incompatibly change the behavior of removeDirectoryRecursive to not follow symlinks. We could optionally add a replacement function under a new name which does follow symlinks.
This would bring its behavior inline with rm -rf.
I also opened a ticket here: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9266
Thanks, Edward
+1 as is. -1 on adding a deprecation cycle unless someone can come up with a REALLY good reason for that.
