Yes, sometimes I run into this attitude, which is why I love svk. :)

I would rather think it makes sense to fix things that don't break
anything, even if not fixing it only affects very few users.  Also,
removing unnecessary code speeds up performance.  (Calling realpath()
causes a number of stat() calls to the filesystem, at the very least.)

Of course, the decent thing for me to do would be to file this in Trac,
and I will.

Best regards,
