 > I have been using enclosure custom fields without links in my blog post
 since it's inception years ago, I have several hundred posts that are
 formed this way. I was dumbfounded when all of a sudden my enclosures were
 being deleted on publish, there is no warning? I spent hours looking into
 things before I finally stumbled upon this little report. This is
 important, DON'T DELETE MY CUSTOM FIELDS WITHOUT WARNING! I set them up as
 I did for a reason. Resolve this.

 If you want to manually add enclosures then you should not be using the
 custom fields that WordPress uses for automatic enclosures.

 It would be quite simple to create a plugin which supported manual
 enclosures which were not linked in the post body - the automatic
 enclosure support works so as to implement enclosures in an easy to use
 automated way.
