[issue1669] shutil.rmtree fails on symlink, after deleting contents

[Raghuram Devarakonda]

Raghuram Devarakonda added the comment:

If rmtree() always returns in case of symbolic links (as it is
checked-in), wouldn't it be much simpler to totally do away with
'onerror' handling? I thought 'onerror' gives the user the option how to
proceed (which is true in other usages).
