system-config-network profiles and hard links

I don't understand why system-config-network is creating new profiles using
hard links. AFAICT, this is totally broken on my FC3 system.  Every time I
try to change an existing wireless profile, it seems to change them all. 
Guess why?  They are all hard linked together.

For example:
ls -l /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/home/
total 20
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 131 Feb 25 12:43 hosts
-rw-r--r--  6 root root 349 Feb 25 12:43 ifcfg-eth1
-rw-------  6 root root  15 Feb 25 12:43 keys-eth1
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   0 Feb 25 12:43 network
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  92 Feb 25 12:43 resolv.conf
-rw-r--r--  6 root root 120 Feb 25 12:43 route-eth1

Something is really wrong here.
