--- Comment #4 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
Digging a little, it seems like this was re-added to Dolphin 2 via Bug 298218,
after either breaking or being deliberately removed before that (can't tell
which). The explanation was "It's usual behaviour that symlinks are shown in
italic letters. That makes recognition a lot easier."

This might have predated badging the icon with a link emblem. Even if not,
italig text for symlinks was apparently at least one user's expectation. The
more I look at these items, the more I come to agree that both italicizing and
also showing a link emblem is excessive visual noise for a characteristic that
is not super important to force the user to acknowledge. But It's not a strong
feeling, and it's quite possible this would result in blowback and complaints.

I'll submit the merge requests and see how other people feel about it. Keep in
mind it's quite possible that we won't end up merging them.
