Comment:

 jane,

 While u have a point there, but why place WordPress.org link under Meta
 Widget? Shouldn't it placed under Links> Blogroll like any other WordPress
 related links (during installs)?

 If people were to remove the Meta widget because of the link, but how can
 people use the 'log in / log out' link, RSS feeds link that exists along
 under the Meta widget? Download new Widget? Modify the core? This widget
 lacks option to customize.

 My suggestion is 3 separate widget:

 Meta
 *{{{wp_register()}}}
 *{{{wp_loginout()}}}
 *{{{wp_meta()}}}

 RSS Feeds
 *RSS Feed
 *Comments RSS Feed

 ...and moved the WordPress.org link to default blogroll.

 tqvm.
