Keep in mind that some APIs might break and others might not, so |
| 9 |
whether there is a problem is going to depend on a lot of details. |

One program might work with this workaround, and another might fail in |
| 11 |
subtle ways. So, it isn't a good idea to just symlink this for all |
| 12 |
users. |

However, as you seem to have found, it may work in some cases, and if |
| 15 |
it does that is great. I imagine you aren't using much software that |
| 16 |
makes use of the python APIs, so the risks are fairly low if you are |
| 17 |
happy with what you found in testing. |

Correct. The fact that you didn't run into issues will probably be |
| 24 |
useful feedback as well. |
