In some cases (ie where you have control over the object model) it is possible
introduce intermediate objects to get around the lack of link attribute
versioning, however, there are many cases where this is not possible.

For example, the FormBuilder object model uses link attributes for maintaining
ordering of components. The Form content type then links to Formbuilder objects,
causing them to become versioned. If versioning doesn't support link attributes,
then changes in the ordering of controls will not be revertable, & i fear
'undelete' will not work correctly.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
I haven't confirmed the lack of link attribute support myself, but Vadim informs
me it isn't currently supported.
