I'd far rather deal with those complaints than deal with complaints about 'mv' silently discarding files. Either the FreeBSD or the Solaris behavior would be a real improvement over what we're doing now. Neither behavior is as good as having support in the kernel for doing the right thing, but one step at a time.
