Version: -feature
CUPS.org User: twaugh.redhat

Some users like to have symbolic links for printers.conf and cupsd.conf in order to implement 'profiles' for CUPS.

When writing modifications to its configuration files, CUPS should avoid using rename() if the original names are symbolic links or hard links.
