Allow readonly xlinks to be created against labels
If you allow readonly xlinks to be created against a label (rather than a specific changeset), this would allow for "dynamic" links in that if/when a label is moved, the corresponding xlink would be automatically updated with the new view of the source when an "update" operation is performed on a workspace against a branch that has such an xlink in it.

This breaks the concept of Xlink.
Trees in plastic are immutable. Every change must be tracked with a new cset.
Doing what you mention is a way to avoid builds to be reproducible: just move the label and something “weird” will happen and you cset that used to build won’t build anymore.
