I tried to ask this question in a more in-depth discussion in:  
[http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-core/browse\_thread/thread/3186764740ccd8a5](http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-core/browse_thread/thread/3186764740ccd8a5)

But, maybe it was so big that anyone has read it. So I’m trying to  
simplify.

Is someone using symlinked directories in views? Or, in other way, is  
anyone against turning off one level of symlinked directory support  
for views? It doesn’t work currently anyway for a level greater than  
one and it is not documented…

Disabling this support, that I think no one is using, improves rails  
code readibility and performance.

I hope I get some response this time… 🙂

Best regards,

Rodrigo.
