As a person that would like to have a clickable link out to my own website from within my YouTube Channel, I am looking forward to this working in ver 2 of channels on YouTube.
The official line is they cannot support both the new and old channel design, so based on that, I think they will really turn off the old design once they make the decision that the new design is "ready". BTW, I'm not sure what percentage of folks actually use their channels anyway. I think it is mainly the medium & hardcore YouTubers that do... others may not even really know they can change it or that it exists outside of being a "weird name" (YouTube's name) for their "account".

My point was as a Marketer using YouTube it is useful to be able to control the environment in which my customers view my stuff. I've found other issues I don't like in the new vs. old design, but I was pointing out one useful component for those of us that use YouTube as a form of (free) marketing.
If you want something else to groan about, how about the fact that it seems like we can no longer add a "live link" (URL) to the descriptive text in the channels. We used to be able to add http://www.... links in the description/about us area but now they don't work anymore...could be a bug they will work on or it could be on purpose!

Now you can have a captive audience... if they are watching within your new channel, they are more likely to stay around and watch more of your stuff rather than your competition's stuff.
