While I am personally a little irritated that this isn't being addressed
by Red Hat the fact is that the workaround is trivial - just add

retr-symlinks=on

in /etc/wgetrc; which is effectively what the patch for CentOS-6 and -7
does.

It has to be said, we must all own up that without Les Paul, generations of
flash little punks like us would be in jail or cleaning toilets.  This man,
by his genius, made the road that we still travel today.  I don't know how
he did it, but I'm so grateful he did.
