I vote for this. I've been doing it in my own scripts for a few years now.

Yes.

However...

Very rarely, it can cause a problem: sometimes a tarball ships with
a broken symlink in it. If this happens, the find with + will fail,
making the script exit due to -e (where the find with ; would not).

If that happens, you add a "|| true" to the end of the find command to
keep it from exiting, or else you put an rm command before the find,
to remove the offending bad link.
