I don't think it's a serious bug. I would call it bad design. :-)

rename -v 's/Link to //' *

However, there doesn't seem to be an option for recursivity built in
to that command. I am not good with scripts, but I am sure there is a
way around that.

find . -type l -print0 | xargs -0 rename -v 's/Link to //'

Your eyes are weary from staring at the Monitor. You feel sleepy. Notice
how restful it is to watch the cursor blink. Close your eyes. The
opinions stated above are yours. You cannot imagine why you ever felt
otherwise.
