As a new user of WordPress I didn’t have anything get broken by the change.
But trying to modify the links thrown up by the default WordPress installation, I felt like I had been left completely high and dry by the (lack of) cues on the admin pages in 2.1.2.
I’m all in favor of pure, abstract code. I’m even OK with occasionally breaking things when there’s a compellingly better way to do it. But I think such things can usually be done while giving users decent cues too. Somewhere on the admin pages there needs to be terminology like “manage links”. Even if it interfaces with completely new code.
