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 to changing behaviour of removeDirectoryRecursive.

-1 to depreciation cycle and a replacement function.

To me, this feels like bugfixing, not backwards incompatible change, as
the current behaviour is unexpected and potentially harmful.
