No, no, no, no weak aliases. They are always a sign of doing things for
a globally configured system, not a component-oriented one.
Furthermore, weak aliases simply don't work in some dynamically linked
environments, and I've cried myself to sleep eradicating them from the
rump kernel. We're definitely not adding more weak aliases into the
rump kernel, I already have enough reasons to cry about thank you very many.
