The crontab links are meant to provide compatibility with 7.2 machines.
These were intentional, given the structure of 7.2 machines.
I thought /srvd/patch was supposed to point elsewhere so that we could
provide a "patch" pack, if necessary. Remember, you cannot overmount
with AFS system packs... (the link only exists on the srvd, not on the
root).
X10 - we can remove them, if management says we can break that compatibility.
/usr/new/mh.6.6 -> mh.6.6: if this is really what it says, then it is a
circular link, in which case it should be fixed. /usr/new/mh.6.6 should
be a directory with compatibility links, and /usr/new/mh should be a
symlink pointing to mh.6.6.
