The symlink is required for backward compat for mail clients which use
stock_mail-priority-high as the icon for "important" e-mails. If
evolution has been updated to use emblem-important instead, then this
particular link can probably be patched out (though, I don't know if
balsa, claws, or anything else uses it as well).

Ideally, I'd like to see the idea of emblems and tags separated, and
this portion of the UI removed from nautilus. I'd like to have the
ability for users to set tags on files, but I don't think we should be
using those tags to display additional icons overlaid on the file icons
in nautilus/dolphin/whatever. The tags should be used for search and
filtering, allowing the user to more easily find files, while emblems
are used to display status information (such as readonly, unwritable,
shared, etc..) to the user, as icon overlays. I think working to move in
this direction is the best way forward.
