Default Should DMOZ switch to nofollow?

It's my feeling that if the ODP wants to progress honestly and without fear of corruption or malfeasance, they should simply add "nofollow" tags to their outbound links. This would let the world know that DMOZ is not about boosting link popularity, but rather about providing a good, human-edited directory for human users.

If we go back to a time when DMOZ's only purpose was to refer traffic directly, the directory would be in a much better position, and we wouldn't need an Open Directory forum...

Thoughts, opinions?
