At least, I seem to recall adding the :: symlinks being the answer to quite a few tech support queries on #winehq, and I know I've needed to do it before. Is there anything apart from low level drive access where the device symlink is needed?
It's not needed for low level drive access either, it's all automatically detected. The exception is with "exotic" setups like the ones using an automounter (though that could probably be fixed too, it just hasn't been done yet).
