Comment:

 The links feature has mostly run its course. Whenever this comes up in
 conversation, someone always says, "But links should probably just be a
 widget." And it's true. Unfortunately, widget management isn't at the
 point where you could easily manage an entire list of links from there.
 And then we give up and move on to other topics.

 I'm thinking about a way to leverage a post type internally for a text
 widget -- bigger screen, built-in revisions, and the like. Maybe something
 similar could be done for links.
