Should hard links to directories work?

The Unix world traditionally shuns such things as an abomination.
The eCos docs are quiet on the subject, as is the code in ramfs and jffs2.
Should they work? Does anybody use them?

(By the way: I started this discussion with a bugzilla ticket, which as
Andrew points out is probably the wrong place.
