hard/symlink to geth binary in Geth/unpacked #3072

Description

Is there a reason that the (quite large) geth binary is copied rather than symlinked?

$ ls -il /home/ravi/.config/Mist/binaries/Geth/unpacked/geth-linux-amd64-1.7.0-6c6c7b2a/geth   
6190780 -rwxr-xr-x 1 ravi ravi 31,902,111 Sep 14 21:33 /home/ravi/.config/Mist/binaries/Geth/unpacked/geth-linux-amd64-1.7.0-6c6c7b2a/geth                                                    
$ ls -il /home/ravi/.config/Mist/binaries/Geth/unpacked/geth                                   
6190781 -rwxr-xr-x 1 ravi ravi 31,902,111 Sep 24 12:40 /home/ravi/.config/Mist/binaries/Geth/unpacked/geth 

Notice the inode number (first field) is different, but only by one, indicating it is copied immediately after creation.
