Perhaps it should be linked to /bin/true on the off chance that if some
script wants to call the sync command, it will continue to work.  If a
symlink is used it would even go a bit further to underline the fact
that it's a no-op if someone lists it with ls -l - "this always returns
true, it does nothing."
