And for good reason. As long as you don't have something independent from the directory entry to keep your link count, don't even think about hard links. If you delete the file, all your "hard links" will point to void, and there will be no way to avoid this, short of modifying the filesystem code to the point where DOS wouldn't be able to keep it coherent.
