This is not a bugfix. A bug is failing to follow the functions specification, which *does* include following symlinks.

+1 for fixing this

I don't think it's sane to rely on the current behavior anyway.

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
