For consistency. All the other low-level functions that operate on the
target directory are in file_ops.c.

I think it is a problem that one of the most widely used packagings of 
PostgreSQL uses techniques that are directly contradicting the 
PostgreSQL documentation and are also inconsistent with other widely 
used packagings.  Users might learn this "trick" but then can't reuse it 
elsewhere, and conversely those who come from other systems might not be 
able to reuse their scripts.  That is annoying.

This is another such case, where knowledge about selinux configuration 
cannot be transported between Linux distributions.

I almost feel that issues like this make a stronger case for removing 
the postmaster symlink than if it hadn't actually been in use, since the 
removal would serve to unify the landscape for the benefit of users.
