Catching the dofollow jerks, continued

Is this what we’re supposed to expect from all the smart bloggers looking to gain more free backlinks in the future? I wonder how long it will be before actually paying people to post comments on dofollow blogs using your URL becomes mainstream enough that Google will slap the collective blogging crowd and figure out an algorithm to make links from comments irrelevant. Considering sidebar links already weight less (or so i hear, a little way down that page at #5), lowering the weight of links from comments is the next step.
Then again maybe it will get drowned by all the people switching back to nofollow links from comments.
