 The description for enabling pingbacks and trackback is "Allow link
 notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks.)". Which is not
 correct a more appropriate description should be "By default new posts can
 recieve notification (pingbacks and trackbacks) from other blogs".

 The current description is broken in particular when the option is not set
 which leads to the assumption that the pingbacks and trackbacks are block
 while they are not as they are still enabled for posts which were create
 before the option was disabled.
