Not much going on here for a long time, dropping from 2.8.0.
Not putting any target-version either anymore, let's target this depending on when there is patch activity.

> During the process of adding symlink support to FileSystem, we realized that many existing HDFS clients would be broken by listStatus and globStatus returning symlinks. One example is applications that assume that !FileStatus#isFile implies that the inode is a directory. As we discussed in HADOOP-9972 and HADOOP-9912, we should default these APIs to returning resolved paths.
