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.
+1. The fact that this function (which I've reached for regularly) behaves like this is unexpected and a bit terrifying. It's mildly amazing that there haven't been more complaints of lost data due to this behavior. Cheers, - Ben
