According to this post ln -sfn isn't actually atomic, despite the comment here. Need to confirm this is actually broken and then fix, presumably to the rename approach described in the post.

bkt uses the rename pattern, for reference.

A recent comment on the same answer claims that the ln in modern coreutils does the atomic rename approach now.
