To me the autolink thing was sort of an 'unplanned feature' for the release. I don't recall seeing any warning or discussion about it until we were just putting it in. Now, mind you John really did most of the work, which I appreciate greatly, but in my mind we should have left it out for this release because it is too destabalizing a change after the branch for release.
That's true, we/I got bounced into it by user requests (and maybe the usual excess of enthusiasm as well). BTW, next time we should set a clear timeline for what changes are acceptable when, with plenty of notice in advance etc... John.
