LOL! That is, in fact, the whole reason which the links are disabled by
default (but i think that the ZIP downloads were the primary concern, as
opposed to annotate).

A related funny fossil experience: some months back a bot vandalized a repo
of mine by replacing all my wiki pages except the home page (very clever!)
and adding tons of tickets. That went on for a month or more before i
noticed. It was my fault - the anonymous user had too much access - but the
irony of it was that the bot got in via the "auto-captcha" button... and i
was the one who originally added that button to fossil. Bitten in the ass
via my own feature!
