It would be great if the Homebrew installation would automatically link the latest version.

This done for almost all, if not all, other apps. For example, for Python3:

$ ls -l `which python3`
lrwxr-xr-x  1 tdegeus  admin  36 Mar 12 09:09 /usr/local/bin/python3 -> ../Cellar/python/3.6.4_4/bin/python3

I.e. a link is created in the usual location (/usr/local/bin) that points to the latest version in the Cellar.

For youtube-dl the desired behavior would be

$ ls -l `which youtube-dl`
lrwxr-xr-x  ... /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl -> ../Cellar/youtube-dl/2018.03.20/bin/youtube-dl

which updates with every update.

Address this to homebrew.

That was kind of naive of me... It was not done before, and somehow I never rechecked. Thanks in any case!
