That's your judgment on the matter, let me have my opinion.
For me it wasn't theoretical problem.

I was packaging my own source code, which contains example symlinks and 
it is not a beta.

Not everybody is building in chroot.

It looks like using "! -type l" proposed here: 
https://slackbuilds.org/cgit/templates/commit/?h=14.1&id=2ca255d617118e

would be a better choice.

makepkg should recreate the links anyway if they are about to land in 
the package.

OK, unless there is somebody to support my claim and solve the problem 
in clean way, can I just use find without -L in the handful of build 
scripts I maintain?
