Yes, it is. Symlinks to and from /content/storage are alas unsupported,

is not cognizant of symlinks. (Google adamantly asserts this service is
the One True Way for Android programs to access external storage.)

Several others have already done so, so that isn't necessary. But it's
the thought that counts.
