Re: Proposal: removeDirectoryRecursive should not follow symlinks

+1. Following symlinks in such a potentially-destructive operation is fundamentally wrong. On Mon, Jan 5, 2015 at 5:25 PM, Edward Z. Yang wrote:

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
