purge_relay_logs uses hard links, not symbolic links.
Yes, purge_relay_logs uses hard links for relay_log files. But I would like to use symbolic link for directory. For example, when I use additional disk for datadir like /var/lib/mysql, I am going to use symbolic link for datadir and workdir because I would like to use a single my.cnf and a single cron setting for all slaves.
I think using symbolic links is not so rare, so I propose to add -L option.
