There's no change in behaviour here is there? The edit link presumably 
still takes you to the login screen if you're note already logged in 
just as it does now.

Surely that is more user friendly than disabling it and making people 
guess that they need to login to enable it?

In any case, if it isn't a regression then it's out of scope as a bug 
report against the redesign.
