Comment (by Viper007Bond):

 I like the idea of removing all of the code from core and replacing the
 functionality with a plugin that uses a custom post type to recreate the
 functionality. It wouldn't be too hard to migrate the data over either.

 The hardest part as mentioned would be backwards compatibility with code
 that is trying to use the bookmarks/links functions. I wonder how hard
 it'd be to port all existing functions into the plugin but have them use
 the new API. For example the existing `get_bookmark()` function could be
 added to the plugin and operate similarly without using any of the
 existing code.

 Food for thought.

 I'll see if I can go through and make a listing of all the places we have
 bookmarks/links code, unless someone beats me to it.
