The easiest way for the SE's to combat link spam is to ignore traditional links pages or drop them from the Google index. From Matt's post it appears that is exactly what they are going to do. THAT'S why this program will work.

Of course it is a way to rid ourselves of the link farms and link bombing. It makes all the sense in the world to
rid ourselves of all standard linking schematics that only exists to manipulate the SERPs. Links are no longer a “vote” for a site as was originally intended. It is now “if you vote for me, I will vote for you”.
Now it is who devotes more time to soliciting links, not the most current site with the most useful content.
There are too many one-way linking schemes out there now as well for one-way links to be considered a legitimate “vote” for a site.
And my all time favorite is “aged back links”. That denotes that someone is automatically given credit in the SERPS for scamming or manipulating the Search Engines longer than others have. (are you listening Google?)
The article based pages provide the visitors with useful information and a viable alternative and rationalization for the Search Engines to eliminate an archaic ranking algorithm that is far too easy to manipulate.
P.S.
Dear Google,
I am old enough to remember what a technological breakthrough the 8 Track tape was.
The industry moved on and not only survived but has profited from it tremendously.
Just thought I would remind you folks.
