I think it is too, and here's at least one legitimate use of core symlinks. We've had problems in the past with core dumps from our 32 Meg machines that come from daemon processes filling up the root file system, so we solved that problem by making /core a symlink to /dev/null.
That can be solved to by creating a read-only file named core in the directory where you need them. A mail left a core file in /var/spool/mail and I made the next setup: -r--r--r-- 2 root 0 May 11 1992 core -r--r--r-- 2 root 0 May 11 1992 _let_it_be It works.
