This documentation change is the best solution for EvalSymLinks short of deleting this API altogether. EvalSymLinks is not suitable on any operating system because it unconditionally undoes indirections without being aware of the problems that these indirections solve. This is a violation of the software engineering principle which states: > Any problem in software can be solved by adding another layer of indirection.
