I'm for putting this one in. The root issue is sandbox (incorrectly in |
| 6 |
this case?) resolving the symlink and checking if the target can be |
| 7 |
modified. However, the modification actually applies to the symlink |
| 8 |
rather than the target. |

Either way, the save and restore is only in place to prevent the |
| 11 |
dropping of SUID bits upon the chown/chgrp. As these SUID bits don't |
| 12 |
matter for symlinks anyway, this should not have any side-effects. |
