These functions are useful in other modules, so it is best to have them in core.utils. I also changed core.links to use ManagedItemChannelLinkProvider so that links would persist after an OH restart. At some point, I will look at JythonItemProvider and JythonChannelLinkProvider to see if they couldn't be managed providers.
