The linkification feature is "complete" at this time, but exhibits a number of bugs, some of them fairly severe.  Some of these "bugs" are arguably missing sub-features rather than bugs, but at this point the distinction is probably meaningless.

The linkification feature is new for Firefox 3.1.  The amount of time to "complete" the feature has been arbitrarily declared as the amount of time left on 3.1.  Bugs/missing sub-features will be triaged and the most important ones will be fixed first.  It should be possible to fix all the serious bugs and, hopefully, implement the most serious missing subfeatures in the time remaining.  Bugs or missing sub-features which are "annoying" rather than serious can wait until Firefox 3.2 to be addressed if necessary.
It's difficult to estimate how long it will take to fix bugs introduced by linkification.  The plan is to focus on the most severe bugs first.  Given the relative simplicity of the linkification feature as currently implemented, it should be possible to get it working well enough to ship in the 3.1 release.
