You could just use hardlinks (os.link), an unlink will only remove
the
file if it's the last one.

Can't hardlink a directory, nor can you hardlink across partitions, so that would be
an issue for people (ie. sane admins) that have /var on a different partition than
/tftpboot. True, you could move tftpboot to var and symlink to the root directory, but
I'm trying to be as non-invasive by default as possible. Bind mounts are well
recognized and documented, so to me it is the way to go on this one.
