Comment(by seo-dave):

 This is still an issue in WordPress 2.9.2.

 I guess WordPress development are not seriously concerned with the
 potential SEO damage of having hundreds of link benefit destroying
 nofollow links on a WordPress blog!!

 Remember when it comes to Google every nofollow links counts as a link, it
 'uses' link benefit (to be precise the link benefit of a nofollow link is
 DELETED) that could be used on internal links etc...

 WordPress users are bending over backwards gaining links to their sites
 for SEO reasons and a simple to fix nofollow issue is left as is damaging
 their hard work.

 Not impressed at all!
