[wp-hackers] link_updated field in db is never updated

[Joseph Scott]

I'm looking at throwing together a simple RSS 2.0 feed for my WordPress 
managed links.  I quickly ran into an issue though, for pubDate.  I 
figured that when a link is added or edited the there was probably a 
field in the db that would reflect when that happened.  The 
link_updated field would appear to fit the bill, except that it never 
updated (not on adds and not on edits).  All of my links have a 
link_updated field of '0000-00-00 00:00:00', which is the default value 
for that field for some reason.

Is there any reason why the default for the field shouldn't be 'now()'?
