it is, but not in 4.5.what do we do with these 4.5 issues. 4.5 does not
get any new features, so the patch will stay in here forever... can we
close it?

See this yahoo blog post [1] if you haven't already.

By adding a rel="nofollow" attribute to hyperlinks, webmasters and
weblog owners can tell search engines that the links are effectively
untrusted. For example, this:


buy now [2]


Becomes this:


buy now [3]

6.12 Link types [4]



Authors may use the following recognized link types, listed here with
their conventional interpretations. In the DTD, %LinkTypes refers to a
space-separated list of link types. White space characters are not
permitted within link types.


"
So, you should perhaps be appending this to any existing comment links
with a rel attribute.

+1 for the feature


It seems to me this might be easier accomplished as an input filter?

Here's the trivial patch to includes/common.inc to change this.

Isn't such a thing already in HEAD? I thought Walkagh brought us such a
patch, not sure though.. Can't check atm.
