Why hasn't it been integrated?
I guess the reason is that everybody says "that's not a solution, 
we have to fix x and y", but nobody actually fixes that stuff, 
and the reality is that we're left with an unusable list of 
anchored SEO-spam links for years.
That's why I did the change as simple as possible - it should 
take no more than a minute to replace the function.

P.S. can somebody create a pull request for this at github? I'm 
not familiar with this stuff.
