Because using a linked nick isn't an abuse, it's a convenience.  *If*
someone using a linked nick does something improper on a channel, it is an
inconvience for the channel founder to figure out who is doing something
improper, if they happened to be using a linked nick at the time.  
Disabling all linked nicks just because of one trouble maker is not a good
solution.  Providing a way for the founder to modify the correct person's
access anyway is a good solution.  

Shouldn't doing a /msg chanserv access #channel del linkednick be made to
delete the access for the nick it is linked to?  It seems like that would
be a more complete version of nick linking...
