I think everybody could be satisfied by a small semantic redefinition of the meaning of Link records.
The current practice seems to be:
1. Link records in the main files indicate that a given zone's data are also used for an area in another country.
I notice, FWIW, that the MacOS distribution (at Mojave) contains no symlinks; the files are entirely replicated. This needlessly expands the DB by about 30% (MacOS nicely supports symlinks) and actually removes information. The casual browser can not tell at a glance that files are duplicated. -- gil
