OK...

No, for base and raster too.

I supposed if there are a bunch of symlinks, and the script that uses
them could use ANY, and all of these symlinks go away, that would ease a
minor packaging headache.

So other than a mild "not in NEWS" complaint :-) about these, which is
really a packager complaint since this is arugably not really user
visible, this is all fine.   I just wanted to check.


And, tests are ok, except raster tests, which is how 2.4.x is, and I am
pretty sure this is a gdal issue.  (With gdal 2.0, they pass, but with
2.2, they fail.)  Yes,  I know I need to run the gdal tests, which
someone has explained to me are in a separate repository, so you can't
just run "make check" like you'd expect.
