More often than not, when a post doesn't get any responses it's a good sign:
it means nobody disagrees. It can of course also mean that nobody read it,
but that's not very likely on this list, especially if you put [RFC] in the
subject line.

To increase the chance of getting comments, cc people who might be
interested, particularly subsystem maintainers. For this one, cc'ing fsdevel
would be a good idea too. It's a low volume list, but the traffic on it does
get read by many people with a clue. If you want to be really sure of
getting feedback, cc Linus or Al Viro.
Personally, it sounds like support for shortcuts as symlinks is a natural and
needed improvement, though I haven't looked at the the internal details.
(Shortcuts arrived in Microsoft-land at about the time I lost interest.) I'm
kind of surprised the support isn't already there. Perhaps you could briefy
describe how shortcuts work on vfat?
