That's great, after the next update will no longer have to explain to
theme customers how to edit that core file :-)

Any thoughts on a WordPress core solution for the other nofollow links
generated from comments?

It's not an issue for me any longer since I've coded my theme to
replace links with forms with this format:

<form method="post"
action="http://www.domain.com/wp-login.php"><div><button
class="loglinks">Login</button></div></form>

and

<form class="formlink" method="post"
action="http://www.domain.com"><div><button class="bnofollow"
title="Author Name">Author Name</button></div></form>

And use css to style the button to look like a text links. The first
is what I use for login links and the second for author links.

This works for login links and author links, about the only problem
with it is you can't right click and open in new window for this type
of 'link'.

I haven't figured out a way to use this code in the body of comments,
so have used this plugin http://ducedo.com/remove-links-in-comments/
which results in links lacking HTML formatting in comments from
WordPress adding HTML formatting to them (so nofollow is never added
as it's just body text: users have to copy the link and paste in a
browser if they want to visit a site, which is not ideal). The plugin
doesn't work on fully formed links within the body of comments, so
this sort of link

<a href="http://domain.com">Anchor Text</a>

Will gain a nofollow attribute. In this case I manually edit the
comment as those nofollow links are so damaging SEO wise.

On my main theme I have an admin menu where I can turn adding author
links and showing author links in comments on/off as well. This means
on some sites I use commenters can't add an author URL in the first
place (got a jokes site with almost 18,000 comments and so many add
silly things for the author URL) and even if an author link is added
it doesn't show anyway (that hides old author links). These would be
good features to be part of core WordPress.
