Tedium already has to be updated.\r\n\r\nSecond, I've heard of problems with checking out symlinks on Windows I'm not sure if they're still problematic, but it'd be nice to confirm that the symlinks work on windows.\r\n\r\nThird, the symlink will be invalid when this package is Bower installed, because there won't be a `./bower_components` directory.\r\n\r\nAre there viable alternate approaches to symlinks?"}}
