Weird default value of option 'default_link_category'

Description

The option default_link_category has value 2 after installing WordPress. It makes no sense since 3.5.
Generally, it's not a big problem, but we check referential integrity in our plugin and this fails because there's no term_taxonomy with ID 2.

  • Component changed from Taxonomy to Upgrade/Install
  • Keywords needs-patch needs-unit-tests added

I've moved this over to the upgrade/install component and added a couple of key words. As mentioned above, it's of fairly low priority.

  • Keywords has-patch added; needs-patch removed

Changes:

  • Update the default link category to be populated as 0, not as 2, as when WordPress is installed, there will not be any default link categories added, unlike the Category taxonomy.
  • The above change makes sense to me, as the link feature is not widely used in many WordPress sites and is not default-enabled.
