Too bad for Emacs. Just for the record -
As I mentioned, the default behavior for the option
could instead be one of these less "noisy" behaviors:
* No links at all - zero change from what you have now.
* Links without faces, i.e., hidden except on mouseover.
As I also mentioned, a given word is never linked more
than once in a given node (contrary to Stefan's claim).
And with the behavior I chose as default, once you visit
the glossary for a given word it's no longer linked
(anywhere). I chose that behavior as default to help
with learning as well as discovery. A seasoned user
might well choose one of the less noticeable behaviors.
You're entitled to your knee-jerk reaction. Alas, you
also have the prerogative to not give vanilla Emacs
users the choice.
Here are screenshots of two of the possibilities:
