A few months ago I wrote about the need for a confirmation phase in trackback pinging. I was inadvertantly trackback pinging people when making a list of links entry and wanted to stop some of the pings.
Yesterday, Jeremy Zawodny wrote about an intranet trackback scenario with a company letting the cat out of the bag wrt to a competitor. In the comments it turns out that it is to become a feature of a new version of MT, see comment by Ben, so maybe my article and email did some good.
Maybe then they can also consider the Notify me of comments to this article feature which I wrote about a while back too. The intention is to let people who do not blog, or have commented on a blog article stay part of the conversation

In my homebrew blogging system, I have an option to auto discover which I can enable/disable per entry, but for when I want to, all it does is auto discover, it doesn't ping at that point.
After posting, I then see a list of trackback URLs with an option to ping next to each one, so I can then explicitly ping just the ones I want to ping.
Seems simple enough, why can't they all do it that way? :-)
