--- Comment #1 from Conrad Meyer <cem at freebsd.org> ---
Here the behavior is described in the POSIX 2008, 2016 edition standard:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/find.html

Harald is correct that the default behavior (and for -H, traversed paths)
should use the metadata for the link itself, rather than that of the referenced
file.
