Hi all,

yes, once again with the link categories.

I did read the lists (wp-hackers and wp-testers) about this issue, and I
understand the reasons for the changed link behaviour. However, there
are still some questions. The version I'm refering to is r4701, checked
out half an hour ago.

I'm afraid that many people, although understanding the change, will
have difficulties with the new way of managing links and link
categories. I think the way categories could be created and managed in
2.0.x is much more intuitive than now. Sure, some people add links and
(as needed) create new categories in that interface. But many others do
it as a top-down-process: they first create the structures (i.e. link
categories) and then fill it (with links).

I think we need to extend that so that categories that have neither links
nor posts are shown.


Also, when I upgrade a 2.0.6 installation to 2.1 by uploading the new
files and running /wp-admin/upgrade.php, the db table wp_linkcategories
is still kept. If I just for fun drop this table, everything seems to
remain smooth. So I wonder why this table is kept. Just for the
backwards compatibility with some plugins?


It needs to be dropped before 2.1 is released.  It's been hanging around
while we discussed the new design and implementation.
