Indeed, what @wouter@pleroma.debian.social said!
Frankly, if any script, Makefile, tutorial, or tech support is relying on the 'ls' output with additional options to look a specific way, then something is more likely wrong with those Makefiles, tutorials, or tech support folks' training.
You could have made the same argument when '-h' was created as an option to 'ls'.
Anyway, maybe you misread the thread? No one was actually suggesting changing 'ln'. (Ah,you replied to say that)

@bkuhn@fedi.copyleft.org @wouter@pleroma.debian.social @vagrantc@floss.social @mjw@mastodon.nl He literally wrote "Well it could be an option to ln, and I for one would love it and make it the default in mine." Maybe that was a typo, but it's what I was replying to.
