[OpenAFS] Why does 'fs rmm' not resolve symlinks?

Dear list,

recently I noticed

$ mkdir a
$ mkdir a/b
$ ln -s a/b l
$ fs mkm a/b/m volume
$ fs lsm a/b/m
'a/b/m' is a mount point for volume '#volume'
$ fs lsm l/m
'l/m' is a mount point for volume '#volume'
$ fs rmm l/m
fs:'l/m': Not a directory
$ fs rmm a/b/m
$

Looking into the code of fs I see that 'lsm' resolves
symlinks before the stat pioctl, while 'rmm' does not.
Is there any particular reason for this?

TIA,
  Arne
