sln (staticly linked ‘ln’) was removed from glibc recently:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1531546
The explanation for this was:
"The sln program is no longer useful, so we will not ship it anymore."
and it was removed from Rawhide 3 days later.
There are some %post scripts which still use this, notably
ca-certificates, so that's now broken. But more to the point what do
you do if you are in a situation where you need to make a symlink to
save some core shared library on the currently running system?
I also don't think rather fundamental, useful and old tools like this
should be removed without discussion.
