Interesting, expecially in light of:
NESTING AND EXPANDING DFS TREES
Although each particular Dfs tree is limited to two levels of volumes,
each volume can contain multiple levels of folders. Additionally, you
can create a multi-leveled tree by nesting Dfs trees inside of each
other. You do this by adding the root volume of one Dfs tree as a leaf
volume in another Dfs. Creating a multi-level tree this way is
transparent to users; they do not know when they have crossed from one
Dfs tree to another.

Does this mean that Microsoft will copy the functionality offered by this
patch or break it on their next client? Both?
