 Links in admin comments shouldn't have rel=nofollow.

 Admin comments are not user-generated content, and the site owner (admin)
 is vouching for the links just like when they link from the post itself.

 Therefore, this usage of nofollow is incorrect.

 Also, if I go and edit a comment and remove nofollow from a link, WP adds
 it back. It shouldn't do that either.

 Note that in the unlikely event of wanting a link in a comment to be
 nofollowed, this could still be done manually.
