Summary
Why
Profile distributions can be installed from git or local directories. Python copy helpers follow file symlinks by default, so a malicious distribution could cause install/update to copy local host file contents into the installed profile. Distribution artifacts should be portable regular files/directories, so the installer now fails fast on symlinks.
