Comment:

 I cannot see this happening any more in update.1 builds, although I guess
 some hard links could be leaked in /activities/uid_to_instance_dir/* by
 bad-behaved activities. I'm not sure if those directories are cleaned up
 when booting.

 Perhaps Ivan has some plans for the new datastore that won't use hard
 links?

 Anyway, I don't see this as a blocker for update1.
