Comment:

 There are several themes (Journalist, Garland, presumably many others)
 that use previous_post_link()/next_post_link() on index.php without
 wrapping them in is_singular() conditionals.

 Prior to 3.0, the links would not show unless the current page was
 is_singular().  Now they show up on all pages including the front page.

 I like the 3.0 versions better (more flexible), but they break some
 themes.

 Reopening.

 Could leave as is.
 Could revert.
 Could add a new argument (or convert it them to wp_parse_args() based
 functions).
 Could ...?
