Comment:

 It's really easy to remove the nofollow attribute, without modifying Core.
 Just put the following code in your theme's functions.php or in a plugin:

 {{{
 function remove_reply_link_nofollow($reply_link) {
   return str_replace(" rel='nofollow'", '', $reply_link);
 }
 add_filter('comment_reply_link', 'remove_reply_link_nofollow');
 }}}

 That said, I agree that a nofollow attribute doesn't make sense here,
 since it's an internal link, especially since we have canonical URLs now.
