Sending it here to bug-gnu-utils was of course perfectly fine since ln
is one of the GNU utils and this is a good list for it.  But sending
it to bug-coreutils was not good since it isn't a bug in ln and
opening a bug ticket there is silly.  Especially since you already
have the answer here.  And especially since I already said that the
mailing list for discussion was [email protected] instead.
