As I posted above, Brion already closed this as
WONTFIX:

...thereby ruining my chance to call myself a MediaWiki developer :)
Well, yeah. Note the logic in the WONTFIX: if the sites aren't trusted
not to be spam links, take them out of the interwiki map.
That would completely ruin a ton of links. The only sites which are
"trusted not to be spam links" to any reasonable extent would be links
to sister projects. Completely breaking all other interwiki links
simply because you want them to be nofollowed is ludicrous.
Paying any attention to the complaints of SEOs and
Googlemancers is
approximately pointless. Perhaps we should ask them: "Please nofollow
all your links to Wikipedia!" That would benefit the world by
exploding their heads.

So, when you answered {{sofixit}} before, what you meant was {{don't
fix it, it's pointless}}?
