Comment:

 Forum and trac activity messages now no longer link the site name.

 Replying to [comment:5 SergeyBiryukov]:
 > Would it make sense to turn the activity item excerpt (currently
 displayed in bold font) into a link?

 Not all activity items will have an excerpt, so I prefer the consistency
 of linking to the activity source in a similar manner (as part of the main
 activity message).

 That is, assuming you meant instead of the existing way it is linked. If
 you meant in addition to the existing way it is linked, then don't we run
 into the same issue (two links to the same place) that prompted this
 ticket? We should start another ticket if you'd like that change
 discussed.

 Something to bear in mind is that in the future the excerpt may actually
 be longer than it is now. The activity stream appearance has only gotten
 minimal love in the profiles refresh (as evidenced by the old, non-
 dashicon icons), so the excerpts may also end up in blockquotes or some
 other different display.
