Comment (by MikeSchinkel):

 Replying to [comment:24 kchrist]:
 > I just want to note here that while this could work in some situations
 where people are symlinking either individual plugins or the entire
 plugins directory, it doesn't address the issue where plugins break when
 deployed via Capistrano (as noted in comment:ticket:16953:31). Any
 situation where the entire document root is symlinked is affected by this
 same problem.

 Interesting. While I understand where my use-case causes issues but I
 don't fully understand where yours does. Do any of the solutions proposed
 address your issue?  If not, is there an idea you have for a solution that
 would address it?
