Comment (by MarcusPope):

 I'm fairly confident that I can wrangle the fix with or without core group
 support.  But I was going to wait until 3.3 was released and stable before
 attempting such a feat because there will be a lot of changes that add
 value to the system, and why exclude them this late in the game.

 What I intended to do with it from there was yet to be decided.  Options
 like taking the wpengine.com route, or simply using it as the foundation
 for future projects we work on here at springbox.com were in the mix.  I
 would of course offer the patch to wordpress.org, but before @Ryan
 commented I didn't think it would be of much use to them.

 I've never been a fan of forking to compete but offering the platform as
 an Enterprise-Edition didn't really seem like a competition.

 I can say that the likelihood of this plugin breaking (as a result of core
 developments) is not very likely given that it operates on standard
 filters at some of the lowest points in the core.

 However I do remember now that there are a couple *_link_* functions (like
 comments_link_feed()) in feed.php that do not get a custom filter applied
 in the way that 'the_permalink_rss' does - so already I have just
 discovered a bug that would require a core hack to make this plugin work
 100% :(

 Oh well worse things have happened than not being able to click a link on
 an rss feed that goes directly to the comments.

 But I figure that discussion should probably migrate away from this
 ticket, perhaps back into the wp-hackers list.  My email is marcus.pope at
 springbox dawt com if anyone would like to discuss options for moving
 forward.
