Which "you" are you directing that instruction at?

At first, I thought it was directed to Bazaar itself, i.e.  "If
Bazaar is to be truly cross-platform, it should support only the
least common denominator, and so should *remove* support for
symlinks entirely."

But on rereading, I think it's directed to projects that *use*
Bazaar: "If you want folks to be able to check out your project
on Windows, don't check in any symlinks."  (Or, I might add, files
with backslashes in their names.)

Which did you intend?

FWIW, I'd argue strongly against the former sense, but the latter
seems eminently reasonable.
