Revert r25768, r25771 I really don't like inserting bogus entries into the link tables, that looks fragile and generally horrifying.
Brion, did you find any problems with it, or is that just "I don't like it"? There was a lengthy discussion and working session on that yesterday
- pity you missed it, probably you were sleeping.
1) You can't tell whether the update has been applied or not
2) You can't tell on-purpose blank entries from software-is-broken entries
3) Various operations on the link tables may break in interesting ways when encountering the blank entries
A purpose-built table would be much more sensible.
