Follow-up Comment #11, bug #46305 (project findutils):

[comment #9 comment #9:]
> Oh, and the patch that tries unlink() if rmdir() failes with ENOTDIR.

That patch is here:

    [PATCH] find: fix -L and -delete removing symlinks to directories
   
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/findutils-patches/2022-10/msg00002.html

However, in response to other patches, I was asked to submit an application to
receive the paperwork for assigning copyright. I submitted it last November,
but received no feedback, and the paperwork still hasn't arrived. I asked
Craig about it, but I didn't receive a response. I think that process might
need to be completed before the patch will be accepted, but it doesn't feel
like it's progressing.
