Seriously? you need to can the bullshit. I posted a patch and I got a
response and code review of:

I can't see why you're doing this, when can set protocol in so many other
ways (which we did)

Which is utter bullshit.  Until I provided the patch there was a hole in
the LinkSearch code, and it was broken Ill re-download core and prove that
its a piece of shit still.

Your response of Oh yes I know the code is horribly written and broken but
I want that feature and I cant be bothered to fix it, is the reason I dont
waste my time with a patch. This reminds me of what happened on
en,wikipedia and visual editor, the WMF forced a broken product out
regardless of the issues, It took a revolt and admins forcibly disabling
the broken extension via common.js before they started to listen. I guess
thats where this is headed.
