From #5344 (@birdie-github)

For example, if ~/foo is blacklisted and it points to /bar, then /bar will also be blacklisted.

We should keep the current behaviour IMHO. A symlink says that the directory/file is found somewhere else, so it's still the same directory/file (from a logical view). And programs usually just follow symlinks and write/read their config from the symlinked path.
