Comment (by Joe Wreschnig):
Spammers don't care about rel=nofollow. It costs them nothing to spam, so
it costs them nothing to spam sites that don't increase their rankings
much. In the meantime, it reduces our ability to actually give useful
information to Google about what links are relevant.
I'd support rel=nofollow on links in the history. But it's no good to do
it for all links.
Regardless, #454 is still absolutely necessary to stop spam. It has other
uses too. But until comments can be deleted, spam will be a huge problem.
