From the developer
Andrew Nacin's own description of Link Manager, lightly tidied.
In WordPress 3.5, the Link Manager (which some use to build blogrolls) will
be disabled by default. If you have links when you update, it’ll still be there.
But you can use this plugin to ensure it will always be there, even if you
update to a later version of WordPress or remove all of your current links.
