I suspect that if you actually tried to scrap link() et al, a million MTA authors would try to kill you. Well, I wouldn't scrap link() et al -- I'd just move them out of the kernel and add the ability to explicitly create and delete files independent of directory links.

We already have the ability to create and delete files independently of
directory links: mkstemp(). What you can't do is easily create them outside of /tmp, or link them to names at a later date.
