totally agree, most of our features are for the end users. Default settings are selected from that perspective, as its the majority of the user base.

When? depends on your settings, and how you add links. For me it auto removes them when I add a package to download tab under all circumstances.
the offline dialog, should be a ask what todo (with a remember option? not sure). It indicates that within the menu editor/advanced setting
advanced settings > filter: offline
LinkgrabberSettings.autoconfirmmanagerhandleoffline
LinkgrabberSettings.defaultonaddedofflinelinksaction
LinkgrabberSettings.handleofflineonconfirmlatestselection

plugin defect is different yes, its linkstatus plugin defect exception vs availablestatus.true. I did use that case as 'offline' in my previous broken plugin example.

"who cares factor" was just a easy way I'd quickly broke down some of the user groups. I'm sure those users have there reasons for doing the things they do. Maybe for the reason I gave previously.

sure, but thats the entire scope of the feature. One wouldn't use that feature unless they wanted that behaviour.
Yes I didn't include all the ways to cleanup, for example there are other ways to cleanup offline links on mass: like single click bottom bar button/right click context. .

Took me a minute to figure out but it definitely helps.
This should be the default settings, IMHO.
