What changed with this? Per the docs, "directories": { "bin": "bin", is supposed to create the bin symlink already.

Actually, this needs reverted. Not only is bin not supposed to be necessary, specifying both is actually an error:

If you specify a bin directory in directories.bin, all the files in that folder will be added.

Because of the way the bin directive works, specifying both a bin path and setting directories.bin is an error. If you want to specify individual files, use bin, and for all the files in an existing bin directory, use directories.bin.

I'm really sorry about it. So it turns out that it's an issue in Volta.

volta-cli/volta#978

@jasonkarns I'll take that as a lesson to let my fingers off node related PRs. I read the documentation about bin and it sounded fitting. No mention about directories.bin there.

Could you do the revert @jasonkarns? I am not sure when I will find the time.
