[gentoo-user] Is /etc/localtime supposed to be a symlink or a copy?

[Walter Dnes]

Before I file a bugreport/feature-request, is it just my machine, or
is it Gentoo?  I remember when /etc/localtime used to be a symlink to a
file somewhere in /usr/share/zoneinfo/.  When that file was updated, so
was your /etc/localtime (automatically).

  Now it seems that /etc/localtime is a separate file.  Fortunately, I
found out about this possibility in a discussion in the local linux
mailing list, and updated my /etc/localtime before the switchover.

  Was this a concious decision, or is it a bug?
