Of course. I was pointing out that if the purpose of the tool was to reduce disk usage, keeping hardlinks wouldn't hurt its functionality. You are right that hardlinks can often be a good thing, but without further information about the environment this was supposed to run in, we can't tell whether leaving them is the right thing. (Probably, it's just irrelevant and ok to leave undefined.)
