If Google uses this kind of technique, a block called "Web sites of the month" might get a site in trouble. I think Google might say to themselves, "we have found a technique that is 98% accurate — the 2% of innocent people that accidentally get hurt are just collateral damage. We can't build a perfect system... and they can just go buy AdWords until their problems are sorted out in the PPC-laden 'Google Webmaster Help' Google Group". Thanks for stopping by…

I agree with you that a section of fluctuating links should be quite easy to spot. However, this can also be a natural thing, for example a block of "websites of the month". You could take this from the other side as well; it's quite easy to spot if the majority of a website's incoming links are temporary links. I guess changes like this move Link Building more towards Link Profile Management. Hmm, good point, I didn’t even think about it this way.
