[wp-hackers] WordPress Checking Own Pingbacks - Intended Behavior?

[Computer Guru]

I just posted an article on my blog (WP SVN), and was surprised to find a
link from that article - to a previous article I had written  on the same
blog - flagged as spam by Akismet.

 

IMHO, internal pingbacks should be added directly, without *any* spam
checking..

 

I was wondering if there was any previous discussion on the topic before I
bugged it?
